INDIANA — Governor Eric Holcomb has granted clemency to a Washington man serving his sentence in the New Castle Correctional Facility.
Tommy J. Alsman, 41, was convicted of dealing methamphetamine in 2019 in Posey County, which is on the Ohio River east of Evansville. He has been in prison for three years, and six months. His earliest release date was set for Feb. 14, 2024.
The Indiana Parole Board had recommended Alsman’s sentence be commuted.
The grant of clemency from Gov. Eric Holcomb, issued Monday, says Alsman has an inoperable Stage 4 brain tumor. He’s received treatment to no avail, the governor’s order says. Alsman is considered to be in terminal condition “with only a few weeks to live.”
“Petitioner Alsman will require palliative and hospice care for the remainder of his life and it is not probable that his medical condition will improve,” the order says.
Alsman, of Washington, was found passed out at 7 a.m. on Jan. 25, 2019, in a car at a Wadesville gas station. Deputies found crystal meth, Xanax pills, and other prescription drugs in his car.
