Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Minutes before his trial was set to begin, Kosciusko County Sheriff Aaron Rovenstine pleaded guilty to intimidation, a level 6 felony, this morning in Kosciusko County Circuit Court.
Rovenstine had been scheduled to face a jury trial on ten felony counts, including bribery and official misconduct.
All of the other nine charges will be dismissed as part of the plea deal.
Under the agreement, the court can consider reducing the charge to misdemeanor.
Judge Stephen Bowers took the plea under advisement and set sentencing for May 23.
