— A northwestern Indiana scrap-metal dealer has pleaded not guilty to a charge accusing him of demolishing a historic railroad bridge and selling the metal for $18,000. Kenneth R. Morrison of Whiting, who operates T&K Metals, was arraigned Thursday in U.S. District Court in Hammond. He was indicted last month on a charge of interstate transportation of stolen property. Morrison allegedly dismantled the shuttered Monon Bridge nearly three years ago. He defended his actions in a 2015 interview, saying his removal of the structure saved the city money.
