STAFF REPORTS

MICHIGAN CITY — Following an investigation into the death of a 65-year-old owner of a Michigan City car dealership, the Michigan City Police Department has made an arrest in the case.

David Morris has been arrested and faces seven charges in the death of Hufracio Arteaga, who was found dead April 23 at the car lot he owned, Easy Drive Auto, 117 W. 11th St.


Morris is charged with:

• Murder.

• Felony Murder.

• Two counts of burglary, each a level 4 felony.

• Two counts of auto theft, each a level 6 felony.

• Aiding, inducing, causing fraud, a level 6 felony.

During the course of the investigation, two vehicles were found to have been removed from the car lot. Both vehicles have since been recovered, according to MCPD.

Morris was identified as a suspect as the result of an investigation from MCPD and the La Porte County Sheriff's Department, with the help of witnesses and the public.

Friday, MCPD Det. Cpl. Francisco Rodriguez testified at a probable cause hearing in La Porte Superior Court No. 1 in front of Judge Michael Bergerson. Probable cause was found and Morris was located and arrested.

Anyone with information in reference to this case should contact Rodriguez at 874-3221, ext. 343.

On Jan. 7, 1966, Donald Dean Jackson, a crazed ex-convict on barbiturates, walked into the agency and threatened ``to shoot all the bosses.`` He had purchased a car there the year before and was described as a disgruntled customer.

He shot to death Mr. Fohrman`s sons Sidney, 49, and Edward, 42, as well as Albert Sizer, 64, director of the car-leasing department. The gunman then was killed in a shootout with police.

Rumors spread throughout Chicago that the man had been cheated on the car and had been paying an exorbitant 51 percent interest rate. Documents showed, however, that the interest rate was 15 1/2 percent, the price he paid was average and the problems with the car resulted from a major accident.

Even then, the car was insured through the agency, and the firm had agreed to pay most of the damages. Chicago`s American columnist Jack Mabley, noted for exposing shady auto dealers, wrote: ``I`ve worked on most of the schlocky auto dealers in Chicago and never heard a whisper about Fohrman Motors.
