MISHAWAKA, Ind. — An official with the State of Indiana has directed an attorney with the City of Mishawaka to release the video regarding the cover-up of a suspected OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) case involving the 21-year-old son of the city’s mayor to REAL News Michiana. This comes following an RNM investigation into the incident in which we discovered a Captain within the department, Eric Beckham, decided to drive the Mayor’s son to the Mayor’s house after he was pulled over for a suspected OWI — then directed his subordinate officers to forget about situation.
This could have been a valuable learning experience for the mayor’s son. Now there is going to be considerable expense to the people of Mishawaka and likely the loss of at least one police office due to his exceedingly poor judgement. It is a poor reflection on the mayor’s judgement that he allowed his police department and legal to aid and abet the “cover-up.” This is the kind of monkey business you expect from South Bend.
