State trooper Seth W. Mann’s last arrest Friday was of a drunken driver, a suspect he dropped off to be processed at the Allen County Jail sometime before 3 a.m.Mayor Tom Henry formally appealed to Navistar International Corp. to keep the company's operations in Fort Wayne in a letter released by the city Wednesday.
In the letter to Navistar CEO Daniel Ustian, dated Monday, Henry extols reasons to keep Navistar jobs in Fort Wayne. Henry also mentions an incentive package to keep the jobs in town, but he doesn't enumerate what the incentives are.
"Making the best trucks is imprinted on the DNA of Fort Wayne, Indiana," Henry wrote.
Navistar has been working for almost a year to move its headquarters and engineering operations to Lisle, Ill., a Chicago suburb. Such a move would cost Fort Wayne the Navistar Truck Design and Technology Center and its 850 jobs.
The effort to move to Lisle, however, has encountered increasingly stiff resistance from residents, a school and supporters of an adjacent forest preserve.
