A new Churubusco Police car definitely catches attention when officers are out cruising and patrolling the town.

The 2010 Dodge Charger was purchased at the beginning of the year via a government awarded bid from Fletcher Chrysler in Franklin, Ind., and went into service around the first of March.

If you’re old enough to remember the boxy squad cars of yesteryear, then you definitely remember seeing the first squad car that looked like something out of a science fiction movie. This addition to the fleet is no different and raised some eyebrows and questions about the car.

One of the reasons the Charger was purchased was because the Ford Crown Victoria – that much of the public has become accustomed to seeing as a police car – will no longer be produced in 2011. Price was also a consideration – the Crown Vic would have been $22,000 without any options, while the Charger price came in at $21,200 with some options.

The most critical option was the the extra air bag system installed in the car, according to Town Marshal Chad Fulkerson.

“Obviously we have to drive at high rates of speed sometimes and I want to make sure extra safety features were installed in the car in the event of an accident to protect my officers.” Fulkerson said.

“Some people may or may not like the black rims on the car, but that was a cost saving measure, as well,” Fulkerson said. Many of the other options are simply aesthetic and not the thrills and frills one might believe are an “option,” he added.

Details are still a bit sketchy at the moment, but a pursuit just west of Churubusco ended after a Whitley County Sheriff’s deputy car was stolen during the pursuit.

The pursuit began at U.S. 30 and S.R. 205 when a green vehicle refused to stop for the officer. The chase continued north on S.R. 205, when the person fleeing hit a set of “stop sticks” set up by a Churubusco police officer, near Blue Lake Road.

The suspects then veered into a field on the south side of the road and proceeded to head towards a patch of woods.

At some point the officer radioed that his squad car had been taken, and was was spotted heading in the direction of the county road with red lights and sirens blaring.

During the chase – with the perpetrator still inside – the squad car made a sharp turn, barreling the car through a ditch at 300 North and 675 East. The chase continued until he tried to make one last turn at Johnson Road and S.R. 205, near the area of Collins.

He fled on foot across the highway and was apprehended seconds later by a host of officers.

An ambulance was called to the scene for the main complaint of pain by the suspect. No one else was injured in the incident.

From The Sheriff’s Desk – December 2009

by Mark Hodges, Whitley County Sheriff

It goes without saying that the investigation of the disappearance of Debra Houser has kept nearly everyone from the Sheriff’s Department busy for the past three weeks. Information that was gathered in the investigation leads us to believe she has been killed and her body was placed in or near water. For those reasons, many different agencies have assisted in the search. The Indiana State Police and Department of Natural Resources have provided equipment and manpower to search several lakes and ponds with sonar equipment. Our local Emergency Management Office along with equipment and volunteers from Thorncreek Township Fire Department searched some of the same waters with an extremely high quality underwater camera.

Several canine handlers from Noble County searched water, fields and wooded areas with cadaver dogs. The Indiana State Police provided a helicopter and an airplane along with numerous Troopers that assisted on the ground. On the third day of searching, dozens of volunteers reported to the Larwill Fire Station and were assigned areas of ground searching in Richland, Cleveland and Etna Troy townships. Help also came from every police agency in Whitley County as did volunteers from every fire department. I am sure I have missed someone or group; however, I want to say thank you to everyone that has helped in any way. I also want to say thank you to everyone that was praying for the investigation. Several of you spoke to me about this, and it is greatly appreciated.

On a lighter note, November 14th was the first Veteran’s Day Marathon race for Columbia City and Whitley County. Reserve deputies from the sheriff’s department provided traffic direction at various intersections along the race course. Gary Bird did well at organizing the event and the weather even cooperated. The Reserves are prepared to assist in next year’s marathon as more runners are expected to participate.

Annually, the Columbia City Trinity Presbyterian Church provides a cook-out style meal for employees of the sheriff’s department and offices in the court house. On October 9th, several members and volunteers from the church cooked up brats, burgers, side dishes and very tasty desserts for us. On behalf of everyone that was served, I want to say thank you to the church and the volunteers.

Toys for Tots and the Sheriff's Department once again teamed up again for the collection of toys for area children in need.

Toys for Tots and the sheriff’s department once again teamed up again for the collection of toys. The United States Marines have been the guiding force behind this drive for many years. The Sheriff’s Department just provides a car for the collection during the live nativity on the Court House Square along with a collection drop box in our lobby.

I have had a lot of questions and comments on the car I am now driving. It is a 2009 Dodge Charger with the smaller hemi engine. I wanted to try one prior to buying several for our fleet. When the car first was introduced, Dodge had some problems with the brake pads wearing too quickly. In 2008, that problem was fixed. I was also curious as to the gas mileage from the Charger as the hemi engine will run on four cylinders during routine driving. In November, I got 19 miles per gallon. The department average for November was 14.9 miles per gallon. While my average was pretty good for a police car, I am still concerned about the mileage if the car was used for regular patrolling. The Indiana State Police are putting two Chargers on the road here in Whitley County within the next few months. I will monitor their mileage and report my findings. You will notice that my car is not the standard two tone brown. Adding two colors to a car costs an extra $500 to $900.  For that reason, I did not get the dark brown paint and the two patrol cars for 2010 will be a solid color also.

I will be writing again in February. Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

-Sheriff Hodges

CHURUBUSCO, Ind. – (September 7, 2009) Churubusco Town Marshal Chad Fulkerson is urging residents who witness someone acting suspiciously to report it immediately, following two incidents where females were approached by a stranger and waited days before calling police.

The women did not report the incidents until days after the incidents had occurred, Fulkerson told Town Council members at their meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

“We can’t do too much if they wait a day or two to call us,” Fulkerson said, “let alone a week.”

The first incident took place Sunday, Aug. 27, while an 18-year-old female was alone at her Churubusco home – on Woodland Drive just west of the school. She reported to her parents – and later to the police – that a man came to the front door.

The girl said the screen door was locked, but the front door was not. The stranger knocked, but when the girl did not go to the door, he walked around the house and peered into the windows, she said. “He talked through the window and asked my dog if he was the only one home,” the girl told police.

The teen reported that the man – a white male in his 40’s with glasses – was driving a black S-10 pickup truck.  He was wearing a yellow polo shirt and khaki pants, she said.

The second incident happened Tuesday, Sept. 1, with a woman who was walking from the school on Washington Street east toward the downtown area.

The woman told police she was walking from the school to the business area of on Main Street when a man in a dark blue, older model Chevy pickup truck with an extended cab pulled up next to her and stopped.

The man reportedly asked her about the local school system, explaining that he wanted to enroll his child – who he said was 3 or 4 years old and in the back seat. The man asked if she was a teacher and tried to engage her further in conversation. The woman, however, told police she did not believe the man, and was uncomfortable during the encounter. She said she did not see or hear a child in the back seat.

“The guy did not threaten her or do anything illegal,” Fulkerson said of the incident, “but he did ask some very off-the-wall questions and she said she had a bad feeling about him.”

The man was a white male, 40ish in age with a round face and wire-rimmed glasses, the woman reported.

The incident was reported to police several days later.

By that time, Fulkerson said, the police had no way of tracking the man or the vehicle.

“I just wish people would call us as soon as something like this happens,” Fulkerson said.

If you have any information regarding either of these incidents or others, call the Churubusco Police Department at 260-693-2609.

Well this tree didn’t actually fall in the woods, but the age old philosophical question of whether or not it can be heard was answered when the resident of this Blue Lake home heard a loud crack, a snap and a boom.

The tree fell for no apparent reason Wednesday morning near the intersection of 550 North and Blue Lake Road.

The Churubusco fire department, police and Whitley County Sheriff were sent to secure the scene and shortly thereafter Whitley County Highway crews and the electric company showed up to clean up the mess.

No one was injured in the incident, but one house did receive minor damage when the phone cable was ripped from the home and tore through the siding.
