OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On November 28, 2021, at approximately 2:04 p.m., the BP Express gas station in Culver, Indiana, reported an intoxicated individual attempting to purchase alcohol. The individual, later identified as 33-year-old Dylan Wade Bush, departed the scene in a white Chevrolet Cavalier before officers arrived.
.
A Culver Police Department officer located Bush's vehicle near State Road 17 and Washington Street around 2:07 p.m. and initiated a pursuit when Bush failed to stop. The chase, involving high speeds exceeding 100 mph, continued through Marshall County for approximately 13.5 miles.
.
Sergeant Matthew Brown of the Marshall County Sheriff's Department joined the pursuit near State Road 10 and Sycamore Road. The pursuit concluded when officers boxed in Bush's vehicle at the First National Bank of Monterey's parking lot on North Lake Shore Drive. Sergeant Brown positioned his patrol car in front of Bush's vehicle and exited to issue commands. Bush ignored the commands and accelerated, pinning Sergeant Brown between the vehicles. In response, Sergeant Brown fired three shots from his service weapon, striking Bush.
.
After being shot, Bush's vehicle traveled several hundred feet before colliding with an unoccupied pickup truck in a nearby parking lot. Officers administered first aid until paramedics arrived, but Bush was pronounced dead at the scene by the Marshall County Coroner.
.
An autopsy revealed Bush had a blood alcohol content of .23%, nearly three times the legal limit, and the presence of cannabinoids and methanol in his system. The Marshall County Prosecutor's Office determined Sergeant Brown's use of deadly force was justified.
