A deputy Town Marshall was arrested in Carthage Indiana for:
* criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon
* felony impersonation of a public servant
* official misconduct of a public servant
* and pointing a firearm at another
Why was he arrested?

Last year I did multiple stories about 2 guys impersonating officers in the Village of Mackinaw. Many of them are linked in this story:
.
Robert Davies is now collecting a pension instead of spending his retirement in jail. He impersonated an officer since 1982, but the Tazewell County State’s Attorney decided not to prosecute. Mackinaw even threw a retirement party for Davies!
.
The retired former Police Chief wasn’t certified either – Gary Hartzell. https://blnnews.com/2018/03/24/where-is-the-prosecutor/
.
He’s collecting a pension too.
.
The Illinois State Police refused to investigate further when the State’s Attorney wouldn’t prosecute.
.
In Illinois laws do not matter for public officials.
If you want equal justice under the law – move to Indiana.
