Indiana State Police release statement after two police officers shot in Mitchell during a traffic stop

[ChrisK]

Not sure about your small town, but ours has been the meetup up place for a few years now. They actually rent a couple low income apartments and it is where the urban yutes from Chicago, Gary or Lake county in general will meet up with the other urban yutes from South Bend, Indy, Fort Wayne.

They routinely get busted with larger quantities, but they know that the small 1-2 officer PD can't keep up with them.
They are regularly busted on the nearby highways with large amounts of heroin and other drugs.

Our is close to 3 highways, 35, 30, and 31 so it is easy for meetups, and a lot less police presence.

I don't live far from you. Right off of 39 North out of North Judson.

Wasn't one of the names I've seen on the police blotter, but WBS is the next town south.

We are out in the sticks and have a 16 Officer Police force. And a population of about 7300 if you fart off key they know.

You see drug busts in the paper weekly some of them on I-64 by the ISP. It’s nothing compared to areas like Scott county.

In Alexandria we have 16 also, but with 4900 people. Its a huge burden on the residents.

Toto rd, how far down Yellowbrick is that?

 

[Jaybird1980]

Toto rd, how far down Yellowbrick is that?

Just a few miles past the run down houses

So... Two beers?

Yea....

 

[Timjoebillybob]

Yea....

Monticello has 14 full time and 4 part time. Population 5500.

Wow!

What’s up with the small town shoot outs lately?

That stuff needs to stay in Indy, Gary, SB, Jeffersonville.

The problem is it is getting to expensive to live in those places. All the small town have government housing now and they are running to them.

No photo of the perp yet?

I grew up there, but not a name I am familiar with. Of course, lots of people move in and out of the Valley, more than a few are sketchy.
