Armed Robbers Take Meal and Truck Driver in Indiana Heist
Four armed men hijacked a U-Haul and robbed Cook's Super Market in Anderson Indiana around 10:30 p.m. They forced truck driver Jerry Palmer to transport cash while customers watched. Palmer was dumped unharmed in a field near Rensselaer about five hours later as authorities pursued leads. Police traced the getaway to a matching U-Haul and a separate Shell station robbery prompted a second manhunt nearby.

Record Refunds Hit New High in Federal Returns
Washington AP reports taxpayers will receive a record 22 billion in federal income tax refunds after processing about 77 million returns. By April 4 more than 36 million returns had produced 10.9 billion in refunds, with an average of 345.47. Treasury economist Edgar Fiedler says most refunds will be saved or used to retire debt, not spur inflation. Refunds rose due to withholding table changes, though overwithholding left many with excess taken. Returns are due by midnight Monday.
