Hello everyone,
Thank you all for the letters many of you sent to the Indiana Parole Board regarding offender kevin ward. Thankfully, the offender was DENIED parole yesterday, April 20, 2010.
Below is a recap of the original email sent to all of you:
On August 24, 1993 Henry Co Sheriff Deputy, Tony Huffman was injured very badly in the line of duty during an investigation of a car that was parked on the side of a road. The offender had a sawed off shotgun & shot Tony, striking him under his arm. The buckshot entered through his chest, destroying much of his spinal cord. The offender then beat Officer Huffman with the butt of the shotgun, then stole the officers car; and ran over him as he fled the scene. Officer Huffman did survive this attack, and is confined to a wheelchair and had to retire from the department. The offender was sentenced to 36 years in prison.
The offender was released early on probation in 2006. However, In 2007 he resisted law enforcement officers when they arrived on a domestic battery call. He was charged with battery on his wife and resisted law enforcement and is back in prison.
Thank you all for your continued support! Your letters do make a difference! If you have any questions, please let me know.
Janice Starnes
