 | Deputy Sheriff Shadron K. Bassett
Deputy Sheriff Shadron K. Bassett, age 34 of Winamac, was killed October 7, 2005 while responding to a call when the crash happened about 12:15 a.m. on Ind. 39 in a rural area about 50 miles north of Lafayette. He was pronounced dead at the scene of massive head injuries.
A preliminary investigation by Indiana State Police did not find a reason for why Bassett’s car left the roadway, going into a drainage ditch before hitting a tree at the driver’s side door. State Police said Bassett was wearing a seat belt.
Bassett had been a Pulaski County Sheriff’s Deputy for two years. He is survived by a wife and three children.
