Elkhart County Sheriff's Department ELKHART — A pair of Elkhart County patrolmen face felony charges after an investigation found they worked as security officers at a bank during hours they said they were performing police duties. The officers — Donald McQuarie and William Fackelman — each clocked in to work at their secondary jobs at Lake City Bank while still claiming those hours as working for the police department, court documents said. The pattern took place from November 2021 to March and resulted in the county paying for more than 90 hours of work that was not performed.
