Son Says Dad Killed Kathy Vroman

Brought into the courtroom in a wheelchair and on oxygen, Ralph Freddrick "Fred" Fisher made his first appearance Tuesday in the murder charge filed against him Thursday.A preliminary plea of not guilty was entered on his behalf. Fisher, 47, of Goshen, was taken into custody Saturday, charged with the shooting death of Kathy Vroman, 48, of Milford.After being booked into the Kosciusko County Jail, Fisher complained of chest pain and was taken to Kosciusko Community Hospital.He apparently suffers from high blood pressure and also visited a doctor Tuesday. Fisher's son, Jason Fisher, 23, of Millersburg, previously was charged with Vroman's murder and remains in custody on that charge. New evidence presented by Kosciusko County Prosecutor Charles Waggoner includes a statement by Jason Fisher in which Jason claims he found his father, Ralph, standing over Vroman's body holding a gun.

Jail bookings up in 2004; booze, drug offenses top list

While Kosciusko County Jail bookings rose for the fourth year in a row in 2004, the most common bookings were alcohol-related offenses, with drug-related offenses second. Total jail bookings in 2004 were 4,244, an increase of 6 percent, according to information provided to the Kosciusko County commissioners Tuesday by Kosciusko County Sheriff Aaron Rovenstine.Of those, alcohol-related offenses totaled 934, including 171 cases of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, per se; 281 OWI misdemeanors; 151 OWI felonies, including one OWI causing death; and 329 public intoxications. OWI per se is a Class C misdemeanor when a person has a blood alcohol content of 0.8 percent or higher.An OWI misdemeanor is a Class A misdemeanor where a person refuses the breathalizer or to give a blood sample.The suspected drunk driver may have been seen swerving their vehicle or may have an odor of alcohol on them.

Grant Pleads Guilty

"Yes, sir," "No, sir" and "Guilty" was pretty much the extent of conversation from a suspect arrested in connection with the death of a Milford woman earlier this year. Lawrence Grant, 29, of Shipshewana, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Kosciusko Circuit Court to all charges pending against him as a result of the January murder of 48-year-old Kathy Vroman of Milford.Grant's pleas were "straight up," meaning that he entered the guilty pleas without the benefit of a plea agreement.Thus, he will be at the mercy of the court when he is sentenced next month.He faces a total of between three and 14 years in prison and fines up to $30,000.
