(Jennings County, Ind.) - On February 24, Jennings County Sheriff's Office arrested two people on separate occasions for giving false names.
The first incident was when Deputy Ian McPherson and Sgt. Mike Mowery were dispatched to a residence in Sand Creek township on the report of an unknown male possible sleeping in a detached garage of the property owner.
Upon arrival, Deputies made contact with the male subject who identified himself as a person who was later discovered to not only be wanted by Law Enforcement but was currently incarcerated in another county jail. The male quickly denied that he was the same person. Deputy McPherson continued the investigation and discovered that the male was actually Jesse C. Scott.
Records then indicated that Scott was wanted out of Bartholomew County for Probation Violation. Scott was arrested for the outstanding warrant as well as false informing. Scott stated that he couldn't believe that the fake name he provided to law enforcement was wanted and incarcerated.
Later that day, Deputy Kyle Lee encountered a male subject who also provided a false name. After further investigation, it was discovered that the male was Tommy E. Redkey III, and not the male he identified himself as. Redkey advised he provided a false name to Deputy Lee because he thought he was wanted on a warrant. Redkey then learned that he was not wanted on a warrant, but was then arrested for false informing.
The charges for the two are as follows:
Jesse C. Scott (age 33,Deputy, Indiana)
False Informing (A-Misd)
Bartholomew Co Warrants
Tommy E Redkey III(age 28, North Vernon)
False Informing (A-Misd)
