Decatur County Dispatcher Arrested on Official Misconduct and Related Charges

Some information was case sensitive

 May 3, 2023, Detectives from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post arrested a dispatcher from the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office on two felony charges related to the dispatcher accessing an internal law enforcement system and releasing case sensitive information to the public.

The investigation began yesterday when the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office contacted the Indiana State Police upon receiving information of the offense.  During the investigation, it was determined that Heidi Miracle, age 42, Holton, Indiana, accessed the law enforcement system yesterday morning and had taken a recording of a video obtained during a criminal investigation.  She then allegedly shared the video she obtained to individuals outside of law enforcement via a messaging app.  Miracle also posted a recording on one of her social media pages. 

The investigation led to detectives arresting Miracle on felony charges of Official Misconduct and Offense Against Intellectual Property.

She was immediately booked into the Decatur County Jail on the charges pending an initial appearance in the Decatur County Circuit Court.
