It is with great sadness that the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office announces that Deputy Tim Guyer passed away from a medical emergency while training at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy this morning, Tuesday, August 1st, 2023. Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim's family as they navigate this difficult time.
