The Pulaski County Sheriff’s office reported in a press release Wednesday afternoon that it has been assisting the Sylvania (Ohio) police with an ongoing sexual assault investigation onvolving Bushong.
Bushong was formally charged with Level 1 rape in Ohio in November. An Ohio grand jury issued a warrant for Bushong with a nationwide extradition order. Sylvania police requested additional assistance from the Pulaski County Sheriff’s office in locating Rushong to take him into police custody.
Sgt. Fred Rogers with the Pulaski County Sheriff’s office assisted Sylvania officers through the investigation, and on Monday he located the suspect, living and working in the Lafayette area.
Sgt. Rogers contacted the Street Crimes Team in Lafayette and shared the suspect’s location. Street Crimes was able to locate and take Bushong into custody without further incident later that evening.
Pulaski County Sheriff Jeff Richwine reports this is an ongoing investigation between Indaina and Ohio. He requests anyone with any additional information involving Bushong should contact the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office, or any local law enforcement agency to pass along this information.
