State Police investigate Atlanta town official

On Wednesday morning, the Indiana State Police (ISP) began an investigation in Atlanta that effectively shut down most of the town.

Dozens of ISP cars were on the scene at multiple municipal buildings and at the home of Atlanta Utility Superintendent and Building Commissioner Andy Emmert.

ISP told The Reporter this is an active investigation, which means there will be very limited information coming from them until a later date.

At press time no arrests had been made, but ISP did remove two classic Oldsmobile Cutlass automobiles from Emmert’s property.

One witness told The Reporter several guns were also removed from Emmert’s home.

As more information becomes available, The Hamilton County Reporter and our news gathering partners at WISH-TV Channel 8 will have further coverage.
