A local faith-based coalition affiliated with a national community organizing network turned up the heat on Fort Wayne and Allen County officials Saturday afternoon. The group was lobbying for an end to what members called overincarceration.
Allen County Sheriff David Gladieux, Allen County Council President Tom Harris and Capt. Kevin Hunter, head of the Fort Wayne Police Department’s vice and narcotics unit, attended the meeting hosted by the Allen County chapter of Faith in Indiana at Destiny Life Center, 3601 Warsaw St. About 130 people attended, organizers said.
