Response to Story Aired by WFIE Channel 14 News

Channel 14 News (WFIE) recently aired a story sharing the opinion of defense attorney Anthony Long, in an effort to create distrust and speculation regarding a case involving official misconduct in Warrick County.

The Indiana State Police stands by the integrity of the investigation completed by Sergeant Brock Werne, a 17-year veteran who has represented countless victims of crimes and has sought to hold those responsible accountable for their criminal actions.

There will be no further public comment on this matter while we allow the court system to adjudicate charges that were reviewed by both a Special Prosecutor and a Warrick County Judge prior to being filed.
