According to a probable cause affidavit from the Kosciusko’s County Prosecutor’s Office, police arrived at The Church of Jesus Christ on Sept. 5 after a report that a man had been run over in the parking lot. A Kosciusko County Sheriffs Department officer went to the hospital where he met with a woman who claimed her ex-boy-friend, Gasaway, came over and accused her of stealing his motorcycle. She told the officer that Gasaway allegedly began to follow her and hit her vehicle window with a baseball bat. The woman told police that she received a call from another man wanting her to pick him up at the church parking lot.
