bypass

One of the cars displayed a sign saying that "weapons" shown in the video were "props for entertainment," to honor their late friend, 21-year-old Martin Murillo of South Bend. But St. Joseph County Sheriff Bill Redman says the incident was not entertainment and he's considering whether to forward cases to prosecutors for potential criminal charges.

Blocking traffic and setting off fireworks on the U.S. 20 bypass could lead to possible criminal charges, according to St. Joseph County police.

A horse escaped from a property south of the U.S. 20 bypass and started running west in the eastbound lanes. Police credited drivers for not hitting the horse and stopping to safely corral it.

Mishawaka’s new indoor shooting range was approved 8-0, but neighbors say their real concern is traffic, not the range, and they want the city to address it.

An Elkhart Sheriff's Department spokesman says the truck driver was not ticketed because he had covered his load with a tarp as required but he told police it shifted when he was forced to brake hard after another driver cut him off.

When winter weather strikes, police wish people would stay off the bypass but they know some drivers can't avoid it.
