At approximately 3:50 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 2, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office received a request to respond to a personal injury crash involving an on-duty Tipton County Deputy at the intersection of County 725 West and State Road 28 in Tipton County.
Hamilton County units responded to the scene and conducted a preliminary investigation. The investigation revealed that the deputy was traveling west on State Road 28 when a second vehicle, traveling north on 725 West, disregarded a stop sign, resulting in a collision at the intersection.
The involved Tipton County Sheriff’s Office deputy, Sgt. Dylan Vetor, sustained minor injuries and was transported to IU Tipton for medical evaluation. He has since been treated and released.
The occupants of the second vehicle appeared to be intoxicated and were uncooperative with law enforcement. Both individuals denied being the driver of the vehicle. Search warrants were obtained for blood draws of both occupants. Their vehicle was transported to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for further processing, while the deputy’s vehicle was towed to Miller’s for additional investigation.
Following the execution of the search warrants, the occupants were released pending further investigation.
