Christmas Day Crash Fatality Suspect Arrested in Kosciusko County

KCSD Press Release – Kosciusko County officials have arrested a Syracuse man on felony charges related to a double fatality crash on Christmas day last year.

Mickgomery Wade Hisey, 26, Syracuse, was released from a medical facility and arrested yesterday by Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Deputies.  Hisey is being held on a prosecutorial hold without bond, on preliminary charges of two felony counts of operating a vehicle and causing death.

Hisey’s charges stem from the horrific head-on crash that occurred on Christmas day, December 25th, 2016, that killed Kimberly R. Conrad, 61, Syracuse, along with her son, Stephen T. Conrad II, 32.  Stephen T. Conrad, 67, was operating the Conrad vehicle that was struck by Hisey, and was also injured as a result of the crash. Hisey’s passenger, Brody Jordan, 23, Syracuse, was also injured during the crash.

The Kosciusko County Prosecutor’s Office advises that the defendant’s charge is merely an accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
