The Shelby County Sheriff’s Department aided New Palestine Police in an investigation involving the arrest of an IMPD officer.

New Palestine schools were placed under lockdown Wednesday during the arrest of Michael Price who lives in the area.  It’s his second arrest in the last several days on battery charges on a child less than 14.

Price has been on administrative leave from IMPD since an April arrest in Marion County on a separate case of domestic battery.

The charges in New Palestine involving a child less than 14 come from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Department investigation.
