Three Muncie police officers facing federal criminal charges over allegations of excessive force have won a seven-month delay in their case. Among the three includes Chase Winkle, son of the former Muncie Police Chief appointed by Dennis Tyler – who is awaiting his own trial date for charges for his own alleged offense. The Feb. 22 in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis for the former cops has been delayed due to concerns related to COVID-19 — and rescheduled the three officers’ trial for Sept. 21.
