(IN) Lynn town marshal killed during chase of suspect in eastern Indiana; 34-year-old woman in custody
RANDOLPH COUNTY, Ind. — Indiana State Police confirmed a Randolph County town marshal was killed after he was hit by a suspect in a stolen vehicle in eastern Indiana Wednesday morning.
ISP Sgt. Scott Keegan said the incident started at 8:30 a.m. July 29 when a Randolph County sheriff's deputy saw a stolen vehicle and identified the driver — a 34-year-old woman from Winchester — as having multiple warrants.
Keegan said the suspect initially pulled over at County Roads 400 West and 50 South but then took off and fled from deputies.
According to Keegan, the chase went through Randolph County. Keegan said Lynn Town Marshal Brad Fisher tried to set out a tire deflation system at U.S. 36 and U.S. 27 when the suspect crashed into him, lost control and then crashed into a dump truck.
Keegan confirmed Fisher died at the hospital from his injuries.
"Our condolences go out to the county and town. This is a very tragic time for them," Keegan said.
