Vigo County—Indiana State Police have arrested a suspect in the apparent unprovoked attack of a man on February 22, 2017 at Terre Haute’s Warren Village located at 1300 North 25th Street.
Arrested: Charles E. Dishon, age 32, of Terre Haute, IN.
Taken into custody at 6:30p.m. this evening at Methodist Hospital.

Charges: Criminal Confinement (level 6 felony); Residential Entry (level 6 felony); Battery (three counts, misdemeanor); and Resisting Law Enforcement (misdemeanor).
ISP detectives were able to determine through both interviews and evidence that on February 22, 2017, Charles Dishon is alleged to have first attacked without provocation, 60-year-old Steven R. Hall of Terre Haute, as Hall was visiting his father on the third floor of Warren Village Housing. After the initial encounter in the third floor hallway, Hall made his way to his father’s apartment, where moments later, Dishon allegedly forced his way into the apartment, failed to leave when asked, then again physically attacked Steven Hall. Hall then produced a .380 caliber handgun and discharged a round into Charles Dishon striking him in the facial area. The two men did not know each other prior to this incident.
The lead investigator was ISP Detective Michael Featherling. Assisting were other ISP Putnamville Detectives, ISP Crime Scene Investigators, Vigo County Prosecutor’s Office, Terre Haute Police Department and the Terre Haute Fire Department.
Charles Dishon was initially taken to Terre Haute Union Hospital and later airlifted to Methodist Hospital where he has been undergoing treatment since the shooting.
Under the Law, criminal charges are merely accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
