It’s two days suspension for an Elkhart police officer for his role in an alcohol-related incident last year, involving gunshots fired from a moving vehicle, that led to two Goshen officers resigning from the force.

It happened nearly one year ago when a Goshen officer heard gunshots and then saw a pickup truck, traveling along Elkhart Road near County Road 17.

The officer stopped the truck and found fellow Goshen officer Brody Brown behind the wheel with Corporal Leonard Dolshenko and Goshen sergeant Kyle Kalb in the passenger seats.

Elkhart Police Chief Chris Snyder said Dolshenko committed conduct unbecoming an officer, “immoral conduct” and drug and alcohol violations.

Snyder said Dolshenko refused to help and was too drunk to know who fired the shots. No criminal charges were filed against him.

Brown pleaded guilty to a drunken-driving charge. He and Kalb resigned.
