In a total kangaroo court, no due process, third world country move, the Atlanta, Indiana Town Council on Friday voted 4-1 to remove Republican utility superintendent and building commissioner Andy Emmert from his position after Emmert was implicated but not actually charged – by the primary suspect in a gruesome 1992 murder in which they stabbed, shot, and then dismembered a guy who had threatened to inform on their two-man auto theft ring, Fox 59 reports.

Emmert ran in the 2016 GOP primary for some office abbreviated as “Pct Comm Atlanta,” losing to Fred Farley, now a councilman who was among the four who voted to remove Emmert. The lone dissenter was council president Murray Dixon, who went classic MAGA with “I’m not in the legal system. I’m not judge. I’m not a jury. I’m not a prosecutor,” displaying his fundamental ignorance of his duties as a legislator because no shit he wasn’t being asked to find Emmert guilty of crime.

Last month cops arrested local scumbag Thomas Anderson Jr in the March 1992 murder of Tony Bledsoe, confessing to investigators that Emmert had stabbed the victim multiple times before Anderson shot him in the head, after Bledsoe had threatened to tell police Emmert had sold him a stolen car radio. The two then cut Bledsoe’s hands, head, and feet off and dumped them in a bucket of concrete, leaving the rest of the man’s body on the side of a highway. The remains were found a few months later but not identified by coroners until 2018. It’s not clear how Anderson was finally implicated more than three decades later or why Emmert hasn’t been charged by prosecutors yet, but this isn’t the now-former town official’s first time coming under law enforcement scrutiny.

Back in October State Police raided Emmert’s property and towed away several classic cars for reasons still unclear, though there’s obviously the automotive thread. The town then suspended him from the job then reinstated him weeks later because, per Fox 59, they were “having a difficult time troubleshooting problems related to its water systems” and needed him back, lol.
