An important clarification to last week's story on Emmis N-T/WIBC (1070am, Indianapolis) news anchor Leigh DeNoon. Ms. DeNoon pointed out to IRW that she was told by police that a pursuit ended at the Bigfoot gas station in Shelbyville. She called the gas station based on that information. As IRW found its information in published media, we erroneously unintentionally sensationalized Ms. DeNoon's involvement in the story. We apologize for that.
