An IMPD officer, Andrew Tyler, has been arrested by Indiana State Police and charged with false informing, a Class A misdemeanor according to various local news reports. None of the reports indicate the reason for the charges against Tyler. He has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
UPDATED: This story bothers me. According to the Indianapolis Star, Officer Tyler met a woman from Lafayette online who came to his home to meet with him and wound up spending the night. That happened on August 31, 2013. The woman showed up at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Lafayette on September 4, 2013 claiming she had been raped by Tyler. Apparently Tyler initially lied about having sex with the woman and later changed his story after being told that DNA evidence taken from the woman's body matched his. It took a year after the woman first reported being raped by Tyler before charges were filed against him. State Police didn't confront Tyler with DNA evidence until July 17 of this year according to the Star. The Star report also indicates that no additional charges against Tyler are anticipated, which indicates police don't believe the woman was actually raped by Tyler as she claimed. Unfortunately, this will probably be the end of Officer Tyler's career as a police officer. Bill Clinton remained President of the United States and Commander-In-Chief after he repeatedly lied under oath about having sex with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
