A Madd Honored Indianapolis cop charged in fatal DUI

Indianapolis cop charged in fatal DUI
He was once honored by MADD for DUI arrests.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — An Indiana police officer accused of driving drunk and causing a fatal crash was once honored for arresting drunken drivers by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, police said Friday.

MADD recognized Indianapolis police Officer David Bisard for four straight years in the late 1990s for making dozens of drunken driving arrests while he was a Noblesville police officer.

"We're always disappointed when one of these tragedies happen and it's even more disappointing when you see someone who is supposed to protect the public fall down this path," said MADD spokeswoman Dorene Englert.

"You just wish he would have taken a little of his own advice."

Bisard faces charges of drunken driving and reckless homicide after his cruiser crashed into two stopped motorcycles Aug. 6, killing one man and injuring two other people.

Police said a blood test after the crash showed Bisard had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19. The legal limit to drive in Indiana is 0.08.

Bisard made at least 52 drunken driving arrests from 1996 through 2001, when he left the department, said Noblesville police spokesman Lt. Bruce Barnes. He won the MADD awards for that work in 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, Barne said. The Indianapolis department also honored Bisard with a Medal of Valor for his role in an April shootout in which a bank robber armed with an AK-47 was killed.

But an attorney representing two of the motorcyclists involved in the crash said Bisard betrayed the public trust he had earned with such efforts.

"It certainly shocks the conscience of all of us as citizens," said Mark Ladendorf.

Bisard was on his way to help serve a felony warrant when his cruiser hit two motorcycles stopped at an intersection. Eric Wells, 30, was killed and the other motorcycle's driver and passenger, Kurt Weekly, 44, and Mary Mills, 47, were seriously injured. Bisard was slightly injured in the crash.

Ladendorf filed a tort claim Thursday warning the city that Mills, who suffered more than a dozen broken bones in the crash, may file a lawsuit. He said he planned to file another claim Friday on behalf of George Burt, another motorcyclist who witnessed the crash but wasn't injured.

Each claim is capped by Indiana law at $700,000, meaning the two claims together could be worth as much as $1.4 million.

A spokesman for Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. Bisard's attorney also did not answer a call for comment.

Meanwhile, supporters of the crash victims planned a rally Friday night on Monument Circle in downtown Indianapolis. Word of the rally spread quickly online, in part through a Facebook page that called for Bisard to be punished "to the maximum extent of the law."

Several of the group's members posted comments saying they believed Bisard was receiving special treatment because he was a police officer.

Bisard's blood was drawn more than two hours after the crash and tested as part of a routine accident investigation, police have said, and officers at the scene didn't realize he had been drinking. Bisard surrendered Wednesday afternoon and was released after posting a $10,000 bond.

"We want to make sure he is handled like any other person," said Facebook group member Chris Patrick, "and he receives appropriate punishment for what he did."

"I don't know where that comes from at all," Police Chief Paul Ciesielski said. He said the time lapse between the crash and charges being filed against Bisard was all "according to the process" and that police had no control over how long he was in jail before bonding out.
