Authorities in Indiana said a sheriff’s sergeant had to pay a $5 admission fee to get into the LaPorte County Fair so he could make an arrest. Sgt. Mike Kellems was called to the fairgrounds Friday to arrest a person that another deputy - who was at the fair on his off-time - recognized as wanted on a felony warrant. However, workers at the fair, which used a private security firm instead of the sheriff’s department for the first time this year, insisted the deputy had to pay $5 admission. Under the new rules, deputies have to pay admission unless called to make an arrest. It wasn’t clear why the attendants insisted Kellems pay. The fair’s general manager says common sense got overlooked.
