Indiana Deputy Faces 440 Fraud, Misconduct Counts

The case

An Indiana deputy faces 440 counts involving fraud and official misconduct. Police say the deputy used Flock technology to track people in his personal life.

The allegations concern the deputy’s use of a law-enforcement tracking system outside an identified public-safety purpose. Flock systems can be used by law-enforcement agencies to review vehicle-location data, but the account of this case does not describe the specific searches or people involved.

What the counts involve

The case includes 440 counts of fraud and official misconduct. The reported allegations do not state how the counts are divided between the two offenses.

The account also does not identify the deputy, the agency, the county, the date of the alleged conduct or the court where the case is being handled. It does not describe a plea, hearing, detention decision or other court ruling.

What happens next

The case will proceed through the criminal-court process. Future filings or hearings could establish the deputy’s identity, explain the individual allegations and show how prosecutors and the court handle the counts.

The allegations remain claims unless established in court.
