A southwestern Indiana police chief has been placed on paid leave following an FBI search of the city’s police headquarters.

The FBI confirmed that several agents executed a search warrant Wednesday at the Vincennes Police Department’s headquarters, but the agency declined further comment.

The Vincennes Sun-Commercial reported that Mayor Joe Yochum said in a statement released Thursday that police Chief Dusty Luking has been placed on paid administrative leave “while this investigation continues and until it concludes.”

Yochum said assistant Chief Terry Johnson is now handling the department’s daily operations in the city about 50 miles north of Evansville.
