SHIPMAN CALLS FOR BLANTON, WEATHERLY, AND OLER TO REPAY TAXPAYERS
(Richmond, IN)--Wayne County Prosecutor Mike Shipman issued a short but strong statement Tuesday after a lawsuit against him was dismissed by a special judge on Monday. The Richmond Police Department’s Adam Blanton and the City had sued Shipman last year after Blanton’s placement by Shipman on the Brady List. Here is Shipman’s statement verbatim and in its entirety: "The lawsuit was frivolous. Assistant Chief Adam Blanton, Chief Kyle Weatherly, and Mayor Ron Oler paid Indianapolis attorneys over $100,000 of Richmond taxpayer money only to lose the case. They should personally reimburse taxpayers and apologize for this wasteful spending." No public statements have been made by city administrators regarding the dismissal.
