Embattled cop was at Hovey murder scene

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - The attorney representing Ronald Davis, a suspect in the Hovey Street mass slayings in 2008, has filed a Motion for Production of police records Thursday, saying that now embattled Officer David Bisard was a first responder at the scene of the quadruple murder, and may have been impaired.

Attorney Monica Foster's office reports the motion was filed in effort to collect the documents and records of Bisard's involvement as one of the first officers on the scene. It asks for any mental health examinations, complaints, and any disciplinary records.

Bisard and his partner were first on the scene. They were a half hour late because the 911 dispatcher gave them the address of a house across the street. The motion states the Bisard was first on the scene and had the duty of documenting and preserving key evidence.

But Bisard is now accused of being intoxicated behind the wheel of his squad car when he collided with three motorcyclists, killing one and injuring two on August 6th, 2010. The motion states that because Bisard had a blood alcohol level of .19, and showed no evidence of impairment, he likely had a long-standing alcohol problem. If that is the case, he may have been impaired when he responded to the murders and any evidence he documented and preserved is potentially tainted.

Davis is the accused gunman in the January 14th, 2008 deaths of two toddlers and two women. Four others are also charged in connection with the case.

A hearing on the motion will be held Tuesday, September 7th at 11:00 a.m.

Bisard is accused of being intoxicated behind the wheel of his squad car when he collided with three motorcyclists, killing one and injuring two. The prosecutor threw out blood tests that allegedly proved Bisard was drunk on grounds that it was improperly administered.
