A Fort Wayne man was arrested Sunday, April 23 just after 7:30 a.m. ET after a single-vehicle accident on U.S. 30 at Fir Road.
According to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department, the driver, 49-year-old Ricky D. Armstrong of Fort Wayne, lost control of his vehicle and went off the roadway.

Suspects are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
