County Jail

One person was booked in the Putnam County Jail on Thursday morning.

• At 8:48 a.m. Nicolle Annette Fulk, 32, Reelsville, was lodged at the jail on a pair of warrants.

City Police

One citation was issued Thursday evening by Greencastle City Police officers.

• At 8:57 p.m., Keith Hanley, 54, Greencastle, was ticketed by Officer Brad Hiatt.

Stopped on South Jackson Street, Hanley was cited for an infraction of driving with a suspended license.

Sheriff’s Department

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Department responded to a property-damage crash on Wednesday afternoon.

• At 3:10 p.m. Jennifer E. Lambert, 45, Royal Oak, Mich., stopped southbound on U.S. 231 at the automatic signal at County Road 900 South in a 2013 Subaru Outback. Chelsea N. Howard, 27, Bloomington, was southbound in a 2004 Pontiac Sunfire, approaching the intersection.

Howard told Capt. Tom Helmer she was slowing for the stopped traffic but was apparently going too fast and slid into the rear of Lambert’s vehicle.

Damage was estimated at $1,001-$2,500.

City Fire

The Greencastle Fire Department recently responded to two dispatches.

• At 8:13 p.m. on Thursday, GFD responded to reports of an unauthorized burn at 311 W. Columbia St. A concerned citizen called in the burn which only resulted in the minor violation of a city ordinance as the Columbia Street resident failed to notify authorities before ignition. GFD advised the resident of city ordinances before returning to station at 8:22 p.m.

• At 1:51 a.m. on Friday, GFD responded to a fire alarm at 414 S. Indiana St. but was disregarded en route. GFD subsequently returned to station at 1:54 a.m.
