Nov, 3, 1988 Sgt Brant "Butch" Nine paid foe ultimate price after more than six years on foe Nappanee force, while in foe lfoe of duty, being foot by his own gun in foe hands of a man attempting forgery at Nine's brother-in-law's jewelry store. He was 41 years old. His murderer, Michael R. Steele, was then shot by Nine's Nappanee P.D. partner, Phillip Hochstetler Jr. (taking a bullet himself), before he was arrested. In a tragic irony, June 29,1994 at 32 years of age, while he was a detective sergeant for foe Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, Hochstetler was killed by gunfire while investigating a burglary suspect. He had served for four years in Nappanee and two in Kosciusko County. Department Chaplain Terry TVler, one of foe speakers at foe ceremony, quoted Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlow character from his book The Simple Act of Murder: "In everything that can be called art there is a quality of redemption. It may be pure tragedy, if it is high tragedy, and it may be pity and irony, and it may be foe raucous laughter of the strong man. But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean,
