INDIANAPOLIS -- On his last day at RTV6, longtime crime reporter Jack Rinehart was named "Chief for a Day" by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
Rinehart is retiring after spending four decades with RTV6.
Sad to see Jack Rinehart of WRTV retire and Kris Kirschner of @WTHRcom move on. Both were terrific, professional journalists.
