Reports out of Knox County Indiana indicate the Knox County Sheriff's Department is among three organizations that have been named in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of a Vanderburgh County Indiana sheriff's deputy.
Asson Hacker died in March of 2023 and his cause of death was alleged to be the result of a dangerous fight in Evansville that training cadets were required to participate in with a veteran police officer. The officer that Hacker fought was Major Michael Fisher of the Knox County Sheriff's Department.
Also named in the suit were the Evansville Police Department, which allegedly did not stop the fight and the Southwest Indiana Law Enforcement Academy.
