  Officer Of The Month For February 2020 Is Detective Kenny Dutschke 

  On February 25, Detective Dutschke, a member of the Evansville Police Department’s VIPER Unit, became aware of a full extradition felony warrant out of another state for a violent felon, Nathan Estes. Suspecting Estes was in Evansville, Det. Dutschke created a ruse on social media to communicate with him. Estes was led to believe he was communicating with a female worker at a local department store. After gaining Este’s trust that he was a department store employee, Det. Dutschke asked for Estes to meet him at the store. 

  On February 26, store employees alerted Det. Dutschke, along with the other VIPER Unit Detectives, that Estes was there. After Estes was apprehended, it was discovered that he was in possession of approximately 70 grams of methamphetamine, 3 grams of cocaine and enough fentanyl to kill several hundred people. 

  Thanks to Det. Dutschke’s ingenuity and resourcefulness, a dangerous felon was removed from the streets along with several grams of dangerous narcotics. 

  Congratulations on a job well done!!
