An update on Deputy MOUSE

On 1/10/2025, Deputy Mouse was dispatched to the Starke County 911 Center in reference to an unwanted subject. After arriving on scene and diligently searching the area, Deputy MOUSE made contact with the rodent in question. Unfortunately, the rodent in question absconded after a minor scare/scream from the 911 Director led to Deputy MOUSE dropping the rodent in question. Deputy MOUSE stayed in the area, but the rodent never returned. Later dispatchers on duty located the rodent and the local coroner had determined the alleged trespasser had succumbed fatal injuries and is no longer a threat to our 911 center.

Deputy MOUSE is currently decompressing from the incident to ensure she can continue serving the Starke County Sheriff’s Department.

These last few days we have had and will continue to have a crew out in the community doing roadside cleanup. We please ask that if you see these individuals out, please slow down and use caution when passing. These individuals volunteered to take on this task to help clean up our community and if you’d like to role down your window to say “thank you” they would appreciate it. As always thank you for your continued support.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there. Thank you to everyone that came out to the sale yesterday, we always appreciate you.

As we close out corrections appreciation week we’d like to highlight two of our admin officers- Sergeant Cassandra Jones and Jail Commander Austin Fletcher. They help keep everything running smoothly and we greatly appreciate all they do.
