Former Elkhart Police Department officer Cory Newland has pled guilty in a federal civil rights trial over his 2018 beating of a handcuffed man.

A northern Indiana police officer won’t face criminal charges for fatally shooting a man moments after the man shot and killed a 1-year-old boy during a domestic dispute, a prosecutor says.

The report says a lack of discipline has harmed the department's reputation with the public and morale within its ranks.

Indiana prosecutors are setting aside their case against two police officers who were caught on video repeatedly punching a handcuffed man so that a federal case against them can proceed.

The lawsuit comes after a grand jury determined police officers were justified in 29-year-old Norman Gary's death on Dec. 4, 2016.

Elkhart's Chief Ed Windbigler said in a letter Monday that Mayor Tim Neese asked him to resign.

About two weeks ago the South Bend Tribune published a series of investigative reports about issues within the justice system in Elkhart County.
