Marshall Killed by Woman in Stolen Van
LYNN, Ind. — State police say a woman driving a stolen van hit and killed a town marshal Wednesday morning.
A Randolph County deputy spotted the van around 8:30 a.m. He pulled over 34-year-old Maci Atkinson, but she sped off.
Atkinson drove into the town of Lynn. Investigators say she struck Town Marshal Brad Fisher as he tried deploying a tire deflation device.
Fisher died from his injuries at a hospital.
Troopers say Atkinson lost control moments later and crashed into a dump truck. Police say she had multiple warrants.
Medics treated Atkinson at a hospital before police took her to jail. Prosecutors will determine formal charges.
Fisher served in law enforcement for over 20 years.
