COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Branch County Board of Commissioners voted during Tuesday’s work session to bring forward to next week’s meeting a blanket request from the local Michigan Indigent Defense Commission office to cover recurring travel into the border states of Indiana and Ohio by Commission investigators for the rest of 2021.
Department Head Matthew Glaser said without this recurring out-of-state travel authorization, timing and turnaround of an investigative process may be jeopardized. In addition, there would be no overnight stays.
Glaser said they want to make sure an investigation for one of their defendants is thorough.
Any travel outside of Indiana and Ohio will require additional approval prior to the out-of-state travel.
