MUNCIE, Ind. — Delaware County Prosecuting Attorney Eric M. Hoffman is demanding that Hoosier Enquirer delete a Facebook post and retract its reporting after his office cleared a Muncie police officer who turned off his body camera before shooting a family dog five times.

Hoosier Enquirer is not deleting anything.

In a Thursday evening email, Hoffman called a post linking his office to the 2025 hot-car death of a special-needs child “patently false.” He insisted he recused himself from that case and that two out-of-county special prosecutors made the decision not to charge Deputy Nathan Coffey. He demanded the post be taken down.

The record remains. Hoffman was the elected prosecutor when Coffey left his 10-year-old daughter — who had severe cognitive and physical limitations and could not open a car door — in a truck on an 85-degree day. The child died of hyperthermia; the truck’s interior reached an estimated 132 degrees. Coffey told the 911 dispatcher, “She has rigor already. I messed up.” Special prosecutors later declined charges, finding no evidence he left her on purpose. Coffey returned to work.

Now the same prosecutor’s office has reviewed the October 16, 2026 incident involving Muncie Officer Michael E. Skinner. According to the officer’s own report, he turned his body-worn camera off while serving a child-support warrant, then claimed he shot after being attacked by a dog. The one-year-old dog, Memphis, survived with gunshot wounds to both rear legs; one leg required amputation. The department logged it as a routine “Animal Incident,” not a use of force.

Hoosier Enquirer requested the body-camera footage. We were denied it. No recording of the shooting exists on the officer’s camera because he shut it off beforehand. Within days of receiving the file, Hoffman indicated the officer was justified.

Hoffman is now trying to silence the connection between the two outcomes. Hoosier Enquirer will not retract the post and will not delete it.

The Muncie and Delaware County system that cleared a deputy after a special-needs child died in a hot truck has now cleared an officer who deactivated his body camera before shooting a family dog. We are sending the Skinner case materials to the Indiana State Police for independent review. The public deserves answers that do not depend on the same office investigating its own officers.
