Clinton County Probation is keeping Deputy Chief Muñoz and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
Statement on Crash involving FPD Deputy Chief Cesar Muñoz
Earlier this morning, Deputy Chief Muñoz was traveling just south of the city when he was hit head on by another vehicle in his lane of travel. Indiana State Police are investigating the crash.
At this time we are with Deputy Chief Muñoz who has now been transferred to an Indianapolis hospital. He is alert and talking to us. We know a lot of people want to know a status update. He is stable. At this time, though, we will not report on his specific injuries as assessments are ongoing.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Chief Scott Shoemaker
