FBI, ISP SWAT involved in Pulaski Co. warrant, stand-off

A warrant arrest involved a number of law enforcement agencies including the FBI at a residence in Pulaski County.

 

Pulaski County deputies were requested to assist in a felony arrest warrant for Darren Amick, a subject known to be a danger to law enforcement.  After receiving a tip from the White County Sheriff’s Department a search warrant was executed at a rural Winamac residence. Pulaski County Sheriff Deputies, assisted by FBI, Indiana State Police SWAT, Winamac Police, White County Sheriff’s Department, Porter County Sheriff’s Department, and Jasper County Sheriff’s Department, executed the search warrant at the residence in an attempt to locate Amick who had active arrest warrants out of White County for Level 2 Felony Planting An Explosive Device With Intent To Use It, and felony warrants for Dealing Methamphetamine.

 

After several hours with Amick refusing to exit the residence the decision was made to enter the trailer. The Indiana State Police SWAT team deployed chemical irritants and canine units. The suspect continued to forcibly resist arrest, but was ultimately taken into custody.

 

The suspect was transported to Pulaski Memorial Hospital by Pulaski County EMS where he was treated for exposure to chemical irritants and injuries received while fighting the law enforcement animal. Amick was released to White County Sheriff’s Department for transport back to White County.
