We were honored to present these officers with their well-deserved awards this week!

Patrol Officer of the Year - Ezekiel McCarthy - Westfield Police Department - Indiana

Investigator of the Year - Mike Morley - Carmel Police Department

K9 of the Year - Luna and Sergeant Ben Lugar - Noblesville Police Department

Hamilton County is blessed with the best law enforcement officers across the board, and it's always tough for our office voters to select just one winner from the nominees we have in each category.

These officers have demonstrated courage, bravery, dedication, and compassion in keeping Hamilton County one of the best places to live in the country. We can't thank them and the rest of our law enforcement officers enough for all they do, and none of our successes would be possible without them!

Also, if this post gets 100 likes, we'll reward you with a bonus picture of K9 Luna paw-bumping Prosecutor Josh Kocher after receiving her award.

We are joining prosecutors, the Indiana Department of Child Services/Child Support Bureau and child support services agencies throughout the country to recognize August as Child Support Awareness Month.

We want to increase awareness about existing child support services provided by our office. These services are vital to custodial parents and guardians providing for children. Our child support staff can help with determining paternity, establishing and modifying child support and medical support/health insurance orders, calculating past due child support, locating parents, collecting and disbursing child support, and providing other related services essential to the well-being of Indiana’s children.

As your county prosecutor, I take the issue of children’s well-being seriously and believe that consistent child support payments can help custodial families achieve economic stability.

This full range of prosecutor-provided services is available to all Indiana parents and guardians free of charge.

Financial support of Indiana’s children is crucial to their well-being and their ability to thrive during the critical years of childhood. My office stands ready to continue to ensure parents provide financial security for their children. This education and awareness campaign is designed to help families become more aware of the services that we provide and to utilize them.

The Indiana child support program, carried out locally by the county prosecutors, serves approximately 200,000 families statewide. Last year Indiana’s county prosecutors, county clerks, and the Indiana Child Support Bureau collected and distributed more than $504 million to Indiana families. The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office collected and distributed $12,248,577.41 in 2025.

For more information about child support services, visit our website at https://www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov/490/Child-Support-Enforcement, call the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Child Support office at 317-776-8559, or the Child Support Bureau’s KIDSLINE at (800) 840-8757 or (317) 233-5437. Parents can enroll in child support services free of charge in person at the Prosecutor’s Office or online at https://csbwebapps.dcs.in.gov/IVDEnrollmentFormSite/

Our Special Victims Team (SVT) has been BUSY this summer.

On June 10, 2026, DPAs completed a bench trial with Anthony Dodson (pictured left), who was convicted of Attempted Child Molesting, a Level 1 Felony, and 3 counts of Child Molesting, Level 4 Felonies.

On June 26, 2026, the matter proceeded to sentencing, and Dodson was sentenced to 70 years at the Department of Correction for his crimes.

In a different case, SVT DPAs completed a 4-day jury trial with Anthony Michimani (pictured right) on May 21, 2026. After deliberating, the jury convicted Michimani of 4 counts of R**e, Level 3 Felonies, 1 count of Battery Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury, a Level 5 Felony, 1 count of Criminal Confinement, a Level 6 Felony, 1 count of Kidnapping, a Level 6 Felony, and 1 count of Conversion, a Class A Misdemeanor.

The Court convened a sentencing hearing on July 16, 2026, which resulted in the Judge imposing the maximum possible sentence of 76 years at the Department of Correction.

We are eternally grateful for our SVT, whose members show up every day to seek justice for victims of these types of crimes. We also want to extend our gratitude to officers with the Noblesville Police Department and Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Indiana, without whom these offenders would not have been held accountable.

Thank you Noblesville Police Department for taking such great care of our community!

On December 16, 2025, Robert Martin was convicted by a jury of Conspiracy to Commit Bribery, a Level 5 Felony, and two counts of Conspiracy to Commit Obstruction of Justice, Level 6 Felonies. He was also found to be a habitual offender.

Martin was charged for conspiring to obtain an affidavit from an alleged victim in another case in which Martin was charged, and paying that alleged victim for signing the affidavit. This scheme was intended to absolve Martin of criminal responsibility in the case involving the alleged victim. Thanks to the diligent efforts of officers at the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, the scheme was unsuccessful.

On July 15, 2026, Richard Martin was sentenced to 6 years at the Indiana Department of Correction for Conspiracy to Commit Bribery. That sentence was enhanced by an additional 6 years based on Martin's habitual offender status. He was sentenced to 2 years at the Department of Correction for Conspiracy to Commit Obstruction of Justice, with that sentence to run concurrently with the Conspiracy to Commit Bribery sentence.

In imposing the maximum sentence of Conspiracy to Commit Bribery and the Habitual Offender Enhancement, the Judge noted that offenses such as these cut at the foundation of the criminal justice system. We are grateful to the officers involved for their work in protecting the integrity of the criminal justice process.

Another success from our partners at the Hamilton County Metro ICAC Task Force! Every day, these men and women deal with things most of us don't even want to think about. We are grateful for their dedication to protecting our children and seeking out those who would do them harm.

Over the weekend, Ruoff Music Center hosted 3 days of Phish. As always, law enforcement was present to ensure the safety of all concertgoers. Frankly, we are disappointed in the number of people who showed up to engage in illicit behavior.

As a result of the efforts by officers with multiple law enforcement agencies, significant quantities of suspected psilocybin mushrooms, methamphetamine, L*D, he**in, fentanyl, M**A, ma*****na, and nitrous oxide were seized. 5 individuals were arrested for major-felony level drug dealing and/or possession offenses. All individuals arrested are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

Officers also identified several individuals with outstanding warrants, including an individual with an out-of-state warrant for failure to register as a s*x offender.

Ruoff Music Center is a treasure in Hamilton County, bringing a diverse array of entertainment to Noblesville each season. While the vast majority of concertgoers aren't dealing drugs and endangering the safety of others, officers will find and hold accountable those who are. Law enforcement will not tolerate the wrongdoers who threaten the safety and enjoyment of those who just want to enjoy the show.

Enjoy the rest of the 2026 concert season!
