Description
This case of first impression arises out of a jurisdictional dispute as to who is responsible for the service of process of a city court. The Wabash County Sheriffs Department refused to serve the Wabash City Court processes (warrants, body attachments, contempt citations, summons, orders to appear, etc.) in the area located outside the Wabash City limits but within Wabash County. The City of Wabash (the City) filed a complaint against the Wabash County Sheriffs Department, Sheriff Larry L. Rice and Wabash County in the Wabash Circuit Court seeking to mandate the Sheriffs Department to serve the City Court process directed outside of the city but within the County. After a hearing on the Citys motion for summary judgment, partial summary judgment was granted on behalf of each party. Specifically, the Circuit Court held that the Sheriffs Department would be mandated to serve only the City Courts contempt citations and body attachments,[Footnote 1] but no other civil processes.
