Deputy Arrested for Criminal Recklessness

Marion County Criminal Investigators arrested Deputy Michael McKittrick early this morning on a preliminary charge of criminal recklessness, a D Felony.  Investigators were called to McKittrick’s apartment following the discharge of his personal high-powered rifle.  The single round did not cause physical injury to anyone, but traveled through other apartments.
McKittrick, who appeared to be intoxicated, asserted that he discharged the weapon because he thought there was an intruder in his apartment.  McKittrick was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital for blood tests prior to his being taken to the Arrestee Processing Center.  Deputy McKittrick, who was assigned to the Jail Division,  has been placed on administrative leave pending resolution of the Internal Affairs investigation and the criminal proceedings.
