Deputy Prosecutor Charged with Crimes

A deputy prosecutor in Kosciusko County faces criminal charges himself this morning. A special prosecutor from Wabash County has filed misdemeanor charges of criminal mischief and criminal recklessness against 25-year-old Matthew Shively. The charges alleged that Shively punched and broke a glass door at a Warsaw restaurant last month, causing 500 dollars-worth of damage. Shively is free on a 500-dollar bail bond. Kosciusko County’s prosecutor suspended Shively without pay for about a week and requested the investigation by a special prosecutor.
