As an honor to a former city judge and policeman, Joseph Radvansky Sr., flags will fly at half-staff on Batesville city buildings and grounds through Sunday, April 6.
Mayor Rick Fledderman announced the tribute in memory of Radvansky, 84, who passed away on Thursday.
Radvansky joined the Indiana State Police in 1956 and started the post in Versailles. He retired after 21 years of service in 1977. He later became the City Judge of Batesville and held the position from 1989 to 2007.
Along with his wife, Barbara, he resided in Batesville for 56 years.
