Ex-reserve officer charged with domestic battery
PUTNAMVILLE -- A 29-year-old former reserve Greencastle Police officer has been charged in a domestic battery case, Indiana State Police at the Putnamville Post reported.
Ivan Croy has been charged with two counts of battery resulting in bodily injury and two counts of domestic battery.
After a nearly month-long State Police investigation, Croy was arrested just after midnight Thursday on two Class D felony charges and two Class A misdemeanors.
A former girlfriend made the allegations in late September. She told authorities that Croy had battered her and her two minor children, ages four and 18 months old.
The 23-year-old mother told police she and Croy first met through an Internet dating site. The relationship was amicable at first, but quickly turned violent.
Croy was arrested at his home early Thursday morning by Trooper Ryan Purkiser on a Putnam Circuit Court warrant. He was lodged in the Putnam County Jail.
The victims sought medical treatment. They were not hospitalized, however, and are reported to be doing well.
The case was investigated by ISP Detectives 1st Sgt. Jeff Hearon and Sam Stearley of the Putnamville Post.
