Tipton County deputy killed on duty
A Tipton County deputy has died after a Saturday-night crash. Deputy Jacob Calvin was responding to a crash when unexplainably traveled off the east side of the road and rolled multiple times. Calvin was ejected from the Chevy Impala; investigations show he was not wearing a seatbelt – it all happened at the intersection of 300 West and 300 South. The crash is still under investigation.
Hunting season cut short
Deer-hunting season is getting a cut in length. Howard, Cass and Miami counties will no longer be eligible to participate in late-season deer hunting. Indiana DNR has shortened deer-hunting season for the counties as a result of declining deer population. Sixty-three Indiana counties will be allowed to participate in antlerless season this year.
