Lynn Town Marshal Killed While Deploying Tire Deflation Device

Prosecutors are reviewing charges as the 34-year-old suspect remains hospitalized following the crash

Overview

  • A Lynn town marshal was struck and killed when a woman fleeing a deputy’s stop drove through a tire deflation device at the U.S. 36 and U.S. 27 intersection Wednesday.
  • The victim, Brad Fisher, was a long-serving local public servant who worked as marshal, firefighter and community volunteer and was remembered for decades of service.
  • The suspected driver, a 34-year-old woman, was taken to a hospital after the crash and is expected to be moved into custody after prosecutors decide formal charges.
  • More than a dozen state and local agencies joined a roughly three-mile procession from Muncie to Union City and a scheduled vigil drew residents from multiple counties to honor Fisher.
  • Investigators from multiple jurisdictions continue to review the crash and the use of a tire deflation system will be part of the probe as prosecutors determine next legal steps.
