IMPD Officer Bisard maintains innocence in email to colleagues

     

      Indianapolis - Officer David Bisard, the Indianapolis Metro Police officer charged with reckless homicide in an Aug. 6th crash that killed an Indianapolis man, maintains his innocence in a recent email to his colleagues on the K-9 unit.
      Eyewitness News Crimebeat reporter Steve Jefferson obtained a copy of the email. Bisard appears to criticize his fellow officers for their lack of support.
      "I am so displeased with the K9 unit save for two people...you guys don't believe in me at all. I am innocent and you all have let outside people influence your opinions of me...I haven't heard from any of you except for the two," Bisard writes.
      "I sent this to you because I had a lot of respect for you before all of this and I don't care if you spread it around the unit but you had better relay my innocence because that is what I am. Innocent," he adds.
      Bisard has not spoken to the media about the case. His blood alcohol content was tested at .19 two hours after the deadly crash that also severely injured two other motorcyclists. Charges related to DUI were thrown out on a technicality. The case prompted a shake-up at IMPD and forced the city to review procedures when officers are involved in crashes.
