INTIMIDATION CHARGES DROPPED AGAINST WAYNE COUNTY AUDITOR

(Richmond, IN)--Misdemeanor charges of intimidation have now been formally dropped against Wayne County Auditor Mark Hoelscher.  Hoelscher was charged last year after leaving threatening notes in the mailboxes of some of his Esteb Road neighbors as part of a dispute over one homeowners attempt to keep large storage containers on a property.  Last May, Hoelscher entered a pretrial diversion agreement to resolve those charges.  It stated that the charges would be dropped if Hoelscher committed no criminal offenses for six months.  The charges were officially dropped through a court order in Wayne Superior Court III last week.
