Maybe trying to reach a tenured/vested milestone for some retirement reason? I'm pretty sure he's no where near retirement eligible but if he's just trying to hit X years of service so he doesn't forfeit XYZ benefit I can understand dragging this out. View Quote Hes either on leave without pay or hes been terminated. I currently have cases that are from 2017 that are still being pushed out. To put it into perspective, the prosecutor posted on their FB page 4/6 weeks ago that they only have about 120 trials a year. Most are plead out. Nothing gets done quickly or efficiently in Indianapolis. |

View Quote The case for the other IMPD officer arrested at the same time was closed out in months... it just seems there is some feet dragging on this one. Even if he's on leave w/o pay can he still hit a magical "years of service" threshold for some reason? |

We're approaching 2 years since the arrest. 8 + 2 = 10. That may just be a coincidence but I thought there may be more to it so I asked. |

Although I haven't posted in a bit the case is still dragging on. The April hearing was rescheduled to a June bench trial. But I am skeptical because there was a bench trial scheduled for last fall and nothing happened.

I just had a trial two weeks ago for an arrest I made 2 years and 4 months ago. Seems like he is on schedule for the way the courts work in the city.

I was keeping tabs on his case. He wasn't belligerent and seemed to be a guy that had made some poor choices, he fell asleep waiting for "help" to arrive. I also go to church with his lawyer. Last week he pled guilty for a sentence of no additional time served, no additional license suspension (reinstated that day), and reasonable fine. I'm ok with that. I hope he learned his lesson. |

He admitted it had been a few months since he last did cocaine but as bad as he was out of it I think he meant to say it had been a few hours. Originally Posted By abnk: Seriously though, good for you helping him out. I just couldn't live with myself if he had gone on to injure or kill somebody and I hadn't tried to intervene. I had dealt with drunks before and knew that if I could keep him out of the fight or flight fear response he would likely be very compliant so I chose words very carefully, never demanded anything, and progressively requested more and more from him in small little bits so it never seemed like I was asking him to do something he couldn't or wouldn't do. I learned that art through making the mistakes of doing it wrong previously. One previous instance I naively allowed a drunk to get back on the road while my family was traveling the same road coming towards him. I vowed to never allow that to happen again if I could prevent it. |
