DeMotte, IN – A late-night call to Jasper County Sheriff’s deputies led to an intense investigation and subsequent felony charge against a DeMotte man early on April 15th, 2024.
According to Jasper County records Initial reports from David Knestrict claimed his wife was allegedly responsible for discharging a firearm in their basement. However, conflicting testimony from Mrs. Knestrict pointed the finger back at her husband.
