Summary: Muncie Police Officers were
dispatched to a traffic accident and observed an abandoned utility truck. The
truck was towed and Lambert was found nearby crawling under a vehicle. Lambert
had spent most of the night getting drunk and after telling officers he was
trying to sleep, was arrested by Officer Kirk Mace for Public Intoxication. He
was patted down and placed into the back of a police car driven by Officer
Gregg Winters for transport to jail. A few minutes later, the police vehicle
was observed sliding off the road into a ditch. Lambert was still handcuffed in
the backseat and Officer Winters had been shot 5 times in the back of the head
and neck. A .25 handgun was found laying on the floorboard. It was later
learned that Lambert had stolen the .25 pistol from his employer. A
demonstration/re-enactment video was introduced into evidence showing the
manner in which a gun could be retrieved and fired while handcuffed. A
statement by the defendant was admitted despite his .18 BAC.
