DeKalb County Man Shoots Self
During Traffic Stop
A DeKalb
County man is clinging to life this morning after shooting
himself while stopped by an Indiana State Police Trooper.
According to Detective Mark Heffelfinger, at approximately
2:20 am today, Trooper Caleb Anderson initiated a traffic
stop at Maplecrest and Stellhorn Roads for an equipment
violation. The violator pulled his vehicle, a 1995 Dodge
Intrepid into the parking lot of the Walgreen’s located at
the northwest corner of that intersection. During the
conversation with the violator, identified as Trenton James
Stuller, 24, from Auburn, Trooper Anderson observed that he
had been handed an identification card which identified
someone other than Stuller. As Stuller was asked to step
out of the vehicle, he leaned over, grabbed a handgun from
under his right leg and shot himself in the head. Trooper
Anderson immediately called for both police and medical
assistance. Stuller was rushed to Parkview Hospital where
he was last listed in critical condition. Trooper Anderson
was not injured and a subsequent search of the vehicle
revealed a meth lab under the front passenger seat. This
incident remains under investigation. The Indiana State
Police was assisted by the Fort Wayne Police and Fire
Departments.
