During the morning hours of March 3rd, 2017, ISP Trooper Richard Klun and his K9 Partner Loki were called out to assist Greene County Sheriff's Deputies who were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on Gordon Keith Michael, 47 of Solsberry. Michael had been attempting to evade law enforcement for months and was wanted on three (3) active Felony Methamphetamine Warrants.
Deputies advised Trooper Klun that an individual was heard inside of Michael’s residence and despite their repeated announcements and requests for the individual to come out, they were receiving no response from the person within. After Trooper Klun arrived he made a loud verbal notification advising the person inside could be bitten by his K9 Partner, if he refused to exit the home peacefully.
Michael then exited the residence and was taken into custody without further incident.
Gordon Michael was then transported to the Greene County Sheriff’s Department and incarcerated on three felony warrants.
Trooper Klun and K9 Loki were assisted by Greene County Sheriff’s Deputies, Blake McCamey, David Elmore, Zach Goad and Sergeant Bobby Pierce. Law Enforcement was also assisted by the Greene County Ambulance Service.
The Indiana State Police stresses the filing of criminal charges is only the beginning of the process and that the Defendant is presumed innocent until and unless guilt is proven in court.
