Long Time Sheriffs' Lieutenant Passes Away 
With deepest sympathy, the Vigo County Sheriff’s Office announces the unexpected passing of retired Lieutenant Ron Chickadaunce. Lt. Chickadaunce passed away early Sunday morning in Regional hospital where he was recovering from injuries sustained in a fall earlier last month.
Lt. Chickadaunce started his career with the VCSO on January 1, 1973 where he served and protected the citizens of Vigo County for more than thirty-six years before his retirement on January 31, 2009. Lt. Chickadaunce held many positions within the VCSO but always returned to his love, the patrol division, eventually commanding the day shift until his retirement.
“Ron was the type of deputy we all aspired to be and he taught me a lot in my early career" Sheriff Greg Ewing said.
