Indiana man charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting at 3 deputies
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — A central Indiana man accused of resisting arrest and shooting at three sheriff’s deputies has been formally charged in the June attack.
Tarron H. Conwell, 19, was charged Monday with three counts of attempted murder, one count of resisting law enforcement and a weapons-related misdemeanor by Delaware County prosecutors.
Investigators said Conwell, who was wanted on a warrant, was pursued by the three Delaware County deputies as he fled on foot in Muncie on June 23. He allegedly fired a handgun at the deputies and one deputy returned fire in the city about 60 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Indianapolis.
None of the deputies were hit by gunfire, but gunfire struck a police car as one of the deputies used the vehicle to hit Conwell and protect the another officer on foot, police said.
Conwell was hospitalized with injuries and released into police custody last week. He remains in Delaware County Jail and is being held on a $330,000 bond, The Star Press reported.
Indiana State Police said after June’s incident in Delaware County that Conwell was wanted for questioning in an unrelated case and had active warrants out of adjacent Madison County.
Online court records do not list an attorney who could speak on Conwell’s behalf and an initial hearing had not been scheduled for him as of Tuesday.

Delivery driver reported missing in Decatur found dead in her vehicle in Indiana
A driver who makes nationwide deliveries and was reported missing last month to Decatur police was found dead inside her vehicle Thursday in Indiana, authorities said.
Foul play is not suspected in the death of Ann Theresa Kipp, a 62-year-old subcontracted driver for RXO who had a Decatur mailing address but did not live in the north Alabama city, Decatur police said Thursday.
Kipp was reported missing to Decatur police on Nov. 3.
She made a delivery in Corinth, Mississippi on Oct. 10 before calling her employer Oct. 16 to request time off because she was not feeling well.
Kipp was in Louisville, Kentucky when she made that call.
On Oct. 20, her employer tried contacting her but the effort was unsuccessful. Her employer told authorities Kipp was in Scottsburg, Indiana at the time.
On Thursday, police officers with the Indianapolis Police Department found Kipp dead inside her vehicle.
Indianapolis police are taking over the investigation into Kipp’s death.
