OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

.
REASON FOR POLICE DRIVING: Off duty — no emergency response
.
NARRATIVE:
On 05/10/2021 shortly before 10:00 p.m., Hunter Alan Robinson, 22, was riding a skateboard westbound on Clifty Drive near Rose Street in Madison when he was struck by a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department vehicle driven by off-duty Deputy James T. Webster, 51. Webster was also traveling westbound and was driving his department-issued 2016 Ford Explorer. Robinson sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office.
.
Indiana State Police assigned Trooper Andrew Garrett of the Versailles District Crash Reconstruction Team to investigate the collision. Investigators also sought the driver of a light-colored SUV or crossover that they believed might have witnessed or otherwise had information about the crash. State Police initially reported that drugs and alcohol were not suspected as contributing factors.
.
Robinson was born in Madison on 02/13/1999 and lived in Vevay, Indiana. He was 22 when he was killed.
.
Later publicly searchable records do not show Webster leaving the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department as a result of Robinson's death. County employment records identify James T. Webster as a sheriff's deputy before the collision and continue to list James T. Webster as a Jefferson County merit deputy in 2024 and 2025.
.
I found no reliable public record documenting criminal charges against Webster, a wrongful-death lawsuit or settlement arising from Robinson's death, or a public protest by Robinson's family.
.
