A hit-and-run accident at 6 p.m. Friday reportedly led to the arrest of Shawn Marie Smith, 48, Greencastle, on charges of public intoxication, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, failure to stop after a property-damage accident and being a habitual traffic offender.

Smith was lodged in the Putnam County Jail after registering a blood-alcohol content of .29 percent, City Police reported.

Sgt. Chris Jones said Smith, driving a 1989 Chevrolet Cavalier, reportedly backed into a parked 2009 Chevrolet Impala, owned by George Belton, 60, Cloverdale, as he sat inside the car in the Kroger parking lot.

Smith then left the scene, police said, and was arrested on Locust Street.

Jerry Miller was pulling out of Shonky's Pizza at 200 S. Vine St., police said, when his car was reportedly struck by his estranged wife's vehicle.
