DEKALB COUNTY, Ind. — Prosecutors have charged Terry DeWaine Sands II with Murder – among other crimes – in connection with the death of an Indiana State Police Master Trooper.
Fort Wayne police say they tried to stop Sands last Friday, but he instead led them on a chase down I-69. Master Trooper James Bailey then tried to help stop him.

Sands has now been charged with Murder, Resisting Law Enforcement, and Operating with a Controlled Substance Resulting in Death. Detectives believe he had intentionally driven toward Bailey before hitting him.
