Deputies charged with recklessness\nLAFAYETTE -- Two sheriff's deputies face criminal charges for shooting at a vehicle whose driver tried to flee a traffic stop.\nClinton County officers Glenn L. Wilson, 54, and Matthew K. Myers, 31, were working as part-time Mulberry town marshals Sept. 6 when they stopped a vehicle driven by a Mulberry man who was wanted for violating probation.\nThe officers stopped the car just inside Tippecanoe County then fired nine shots at it when the man tried to drive away, Tippecanoe County Prosecutor Jerry Bean said. Some of the shots struck the vehicle at the scene about 10 miles southeast of Lafayette, but no one was injured.\n"They are only allowed to use a certain amount of force," Bean said. "They may only use deadly force when their or someone else's lives are in danger."\nWilson and Myers surrendered Monday at Tippecanoe County Jail on felony charges of criminal recklessness and were later released on $5,000 bond. Each could face from six months to three years in prison if convicted.\nClinton County Sheriff Mark Mitchell said both officers were suspended Monday.
Emerald ash borer expected to spread\nSOUTH BEND -- A tree-killing bug that has damaged millions of ash trees in Michigan and Ohio has not yet invaded Indiana -- at least not as far as state officials know.\nA suspected discovery of an emerald ash borer in northeastern Indiana, at a campground near Fremont, turned out to be a false alarm Tuesday, said Gayle Jansen, an entomologist with the state Department of Natural Resources.\nBut the emerald ash borer is expected to move into Indiana eventually, Jansen said.\n"It's just a matter of when," she said.\nIn Ohio, infestations were discovered in August at eight sites in Hicksville, a small town about 20 miles northeast of Fort Wayne.\nThe borer has already destroyed more than 6 million ash trees in Michigan. A quarantine has been placed on 13 southeastern Michigan counties by state officials, making it illegal to move ash trees, branches, lumber and other materials from the designated counties unless chipped to one inch in diameter.no longer flow up into the branches and leaves. The trees usually die in two to three years.\nJansen on Tuesday inspected the damaged tree in Steuben County, about 40 miles north of Fort Wayne, and determined that the larvae were of the clear-wing moth, which is common in Indiana.\nJansen said the state agency was working to try to identify the emerald ash borers as soon as they enter Indiana.\n"They are just so hard to find in the first year of infestation," she said.
