Town Marshal Bradley Fisher was struck and killed during a pursuit of a stolen vehicle.

   Randolph County deputies began the pursuit near County Road 400 West and County Road 50 South after confirming the van was stolen and its drivers had two felony and two misdemeanor warrants. As the deputy attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver fled.

   As the pursuit approached Lynn eastbound on U.S. 36, Marshal Fisher was struck as he was deploying Stop Sticks. The driver continued to flee until it collided with a dump truck after she lost control near U.S. 27. Marshal Fisher was transported to Ascension St. Vincent Randolph Hospital in Winchester where he was pronounced dead.

   The 34-year-old female was also taken to the hospital and once released was taken into custody. She has been charged with murder, resisting law enforcement, attempted aggravated battery, operating a motor vehicle with a controlled substance, criminal recklessness, auto theft and unlawful possession of a syringe, all of which are felonies.

   Town Marshal Fisher also served as a captain and EMT with the Lynn Fire Department. He is survived by his wife, Jeanette (née Harris); son, Colton; daughters, Zoe and Skylie; parents, Ron and Vonda; and brother, Jason (Amber). His son serves as a deputy with the Randolph County Sheriff's Department.

All subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

This officer has been submitted as an eligible line of duty death to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund and is currently awaiting a determination.
