(Richmond, IN)--Wayne County Prosecutor Mike Shipman’s role as the county prosecutor will come to an end at the end of next year.  He made the announcement through an email to local media Thursday.  Shipman did not say why he will not seek reelection in the statement, but did point out that he has served five terms and has never faced an opponent in an election.  He was appointed prosecutor back in 2005 when then-prosecutor David Kolger became a judge.  Shipman will leave the position having spent more time as prosecutor than anyone else in Wayne County’s history.
