Atlanta is a town of just 700 people. Indiana State Police added to the population significantly Wednesday, Oct. 2 with a large presence at several locations across town. Townspeople told 13News reporter Rich Nye that the number of police vehicles and investigators was even greater in the morning before he arrived. Another Atlanta town official confirms that police are investigating Utility Superintendent and Building Commissioner Andy Emmert, who is on paid administrative leave while the investigation continues. The official said Emmert has been in that position for years and served on the town council before that. The town hall was closed Wednesday as investigators searched for evidence there and at a few other town buildings. State police are not saying what this investigation involves, but investigators were at Emmert's house at the corner of North Walnut and Meridian streets all day.
