City Police

Greencastle City Police are investigating the reported recent passing of a counterfeit bill at the McClure Oil station at Keightly Road and U.S. 231 South.

Officer Darrel Bunten was called to the scene about 4 p.m. Sunday when the McClure's manager discovered what he believed to be a counterfeit $5 bill.

The case has been turned over to GPD detectives.

An incident of criminal mischief was reported Friday evening at the Family Video lot at 820 Indianapolis Rd.

The passenger-side front window of a car owned by Jackie Delaney, 49, Cloverdale, was reported broken out by vandals, resulting in an estimated $150 damage.

Capt. Mike Hanlon reported that video store employees saw a gray two-door Trans-Am pull alongside the Delaney vehicle. The driver reportedly got out of the vehicle -- which was described as "a carload of kids" -- and smashed the car window.

The incident was reported at 5:07 p.m.

In another incident, a case of vandalism was reported at Big Walnut Sport Park on the city's East Side sometime between 10:30 a.m. Saturday and 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

Capt. Hanlon noted that someone apparently drove a vehicle through the grass and did doughnuts on one of the fields.

Damage was estimated at $300.

Meanwhile, the theft of a silver 1999 Chevrolet Malibu was reported from the driveway of a residence at 1010 Crown St.

Capt. Chris Jones noted that the vehicle theft occurred sometime Christmas Day or the day after.

The owner, Jeremy Wilson, 32, called police at 7:57 p.m. Friday because he initially believed a friend had borrowed the car when he saw it was gone.

The car, which carries Indiana handicapped plate D811PW, was valued at $2,000-$3,000, Capt. Jones noted.

One recent traffic citation was issued by city officers.
