St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- On Wednesday, the St. Joseph County Prosecutor's Office charged Erick R. Hordos, a 41-year-old man of South Bend, with three counts following an incident where a shotgun was discharged and a car crashed near IU South Bend on Monday, which led to the university going on a shelter in place status.

Hordos was charged with one count of Intimidation as a Level 5 Felony, Criminal Recklessness as a Level 6 Felony, and Leaving the Scene of an Accident as a Class B Misdemeanor.

On Monday, after officers responded to the 1000 block of S. 23rd Street in South Bend for a shots fired call, they found Hordos' girlfriend, who told them he fired her shotgun into the ground near her and left in her black Chevrolet Impala.
