Sheriff’s Department

Putnam County sheriff’s deputies investigated seven recent property-damage crashes.

• At 4:48 a.m. on Monday, Zakery W. Williams, 29, Brazil, was eastbound on U.S. 40 when his 2009 Nissa Versa struck a deer.

Deputy Tanner Brown estimated damage at $2,500-$5,000.

Williams later said that the vehicle had no insurance coverage.

• At 10:20 a.m. on Sunday, Faith N. Brasel, 71, Ellettsville, was westbound on County Road 375 North approaching a downgrade S-curve in a 2005 Ford Taurus.

Brasel told Deputy Markus Witt that as she entered the curve she felt the rear of the vehicle begin to slide. She said the car turned completely around and slid backward into the ditch on the east side of the road.

There was ice on the road at the time of the incident, so much that the tow truck driver told Witt the vehicle could not be retrieved until after the ice had melted.

Damage was estimated at $1,000-$2,500.

• At 10 a.m. on Sunday, Deontae L. Peete, 20, Crawfordsville, was southbound on County Road 700 East in a 2015 Chrysler 200 Series.

Peete told Deputy Witt he applied the brakes and began to turn the wheel to complete the turn onto County Road 300 North but the vehicle began to slide, leaving the road and entering a yard, where it hit several wooden fence pillars and a large wood planting pot before coming to a stop.

Peete was not injured.

The car was towed. Witt estimated damage at $2,500-$5,000.

• At 4:19 a.m. on Saturday, John W. Kline, 19, Greencastle, was northbound on U.S. 231 in a 2016 Hyundai Sonata when he hit a deer.

• At 9:29 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12, Tamara D. Ayento, 53, Greencastle, was southbound on U.S. 231 on Waterworks Hill near Kersey Lane in a 2004 Dodge Durango.

Ayento lost control of the SUV on the icy roadway, sliding sideways off the road and into a guardrail.

Ayento was not injured.

Deputy Jeffery Freeman estimated damage at $5,000-$10,000. The vehicle was towed.

• At 1:28 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12, Justin C. Pelley, 18, Batavia, Ill., was northbound on County Road 150 West near County Road 450 South in a 2014 Dodge Charger.

Pelley was entering a curve when he began to hydroplane and lost control due to slick conditions from heavy rain.

The car left the road and entered a ditch.

The vehicle had to be pulled from the ditch but was then driven from the scene.

Deputy Freeman estimated damage at $2,500-$5,000.

• At 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 10, Cody N. Hatton, 17, Greencastle, was westbound on County Road 125 South in a 2002 Jeep Liberty.

Hatton told Sheriff Scott Stockton that as he approached, a vehicle was backing out of the driveway at 1767 W. CR 125 South.

Hatton said he lost control trying to avoid the other vehicle, leaving the roadway and entering a ditch.

The vehicle was towed. Stockton estimated damage at $10,000-$25,000.
