In late 2019, then-Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler was arrested by the FBI and charged with one count of "theft of government services."

On Tuesday, IU Health Ball in Muncie was treating 104 COVID-19 positive patients, occupying approximately 40 percent of the hospital's beds.

A former Muncie police officer pleaded guilty Wednesday to concealing and failing to report another officer's inappropriate use of force during a 2018 arrest, federal prosecutors said.

A former Muncie police officer is expected to plead guilty next month in connection with a federal investigation of excessive force allegations against other officers.

Federal prosecutors are objecting to an effort by four Muncie police officers to delay their trial on allegations they used excessive force during arrests or tried to cover up that misconduct.

Dennis Tyler was indicted in November 2019 on theft of government funds charges. Federal prosecutors alleged Tyler accepted the bribe from an unidentified company in exchange for the awarding of public works projects in Muncie.

Police were justified in fatally shooting a man during a chase and gun battle in east central Indiana, the Delaware County prosecutor said Wednesday.

The charges stem from instances in 2018 where people the officers arrested suffered serious injuries.
