Sherrick Case Spurs Indiana Gambling Probe
The Marion county grand jury opened an investigation into ex auditor David M. Sherrick who is about $145,000 short and faces embezzlement charges. Governor Hanly, predecessor Warren Bigle, and John Reed were subpoenaed as witnesses as indictments loom. The probe could broaden to close French Lick and West Baden gambling dens, with potential suits to recover money lost at the Franch Lick casino and by the American Surety bond.
