The Chief of Police for the City of Fishers, Ed Gebhart, issued a letter to the community Saturday about a gathering of motorists last Sunday involving about 300 vehicles and a number of reported law violations.
The Chief says reports of business parking lots filling-up with cars led to calls into his department about speeding, noise, trash, loitering and businesses being blocked along 116th Street Sunday.
When a group that size gathers, cities such as Fishers require a permit for such a situation. It appears this group sought no such permit.
Fishers Police are working with businesses along 116th Street impacted by this, and will post “no trespassing or loitering” signs for any Fishers business requesting the sign. “We will aggressively enforce any violated ordinances or state laws, including these signs,” wrote Gebhart in his letter.
In his letter’s conclusion, Chief Gebhart says “people who do not obey the law by driving erratically, speeding, racing, creating loud noise, littering, loitering, vandalizing, bothering businesses, and breaking other laws are not welcome in our city.”
The Chief encourages working together to “discourage such behavior.”
