Sheriff’s Department

Putnam County sheriff’s deputies responded to four recent property-damage crashes.

• At 2:02 a.m. on Monday, Mellissa Bair, 48, Bainbridge, was eastbound on U.S. 36 in 1998 Ford Mustang when she fell asleep at the wheel and the car drifted off the right side of the road, striking an object.

Before the arrival of Deputy Robert Soilleux, first responders found the vehicle still running, with the horn honking and the rear driver side wheel turning with smoke coming off the tire.

Bair was drifting in and out of consciousness when Soilleux arrived. She complained of neck pain and abdominal pain. Operation Life transported Bair from the scene.

The driver was cited for driving without financial responsibility.

The car was towed. Damage was estimated at $5,001-$10,000.

• At 1:20 a.m. on Monday, Gayla S. Burnett, 63, Cloverdale, was westbound on County Road 750 South in a 2009 Chevrolet HHR when a deer jumped into the road, colliding with the front passenger side of the vehicle.

Damage was estimated at $2,501-$5,000.

• At 8:19 p.m. on Sunday, an unknown driver fled the scene of a two-vehicle crash on County Road 625 East.

Kristian S. Warrick, 20, Coatesville, was approaching a 90-degree turn in a 1998 Ford Mustang. He told Deputy Anthony Brown he saw a red passenger car in his lane.

Warrick said he moved to the left side of the road to avoid the other vehicle but it hit his left front fender.

The other vehicle then apparently backed up into a driveway and then proceeded northbound.

Damage was estimated at $2,501-$5,000.

City Fire

The Greencastle Fire Department recently responded to five dispatches.

• At 9:39 p.m. on Tuesday, GFD responded to reports of an unauthorized burn at 708 Maple St. The fire was deemed too large within city limits as it involved the disposal of several large tree limbs downed by recent storms. GFD advised the resident of city ordinances and extinguished the flames before subsequently returning to station at 10:17 p.m.

• At 2:43 a.m. on Wednesday, GFD responded to a fire alarm but was disregarded while en route to 62 Center St. GFD returned to station at 2:44 a.m.

• At 7:16 a.m. on Wednesday, GFD assisted the Cloverdale Fire Department with a structure fire at 154 W. Logan St., Cloverdale. Flames were contained to the basement of the structure prior to extinguishment. GFD returned to station in Greencastle at 8:11 a.m.

• At 12:25 p.m. on Thursday, GFD responded to an “unintentional” fire alarm at 905 S. College Ave. The alarm was determined to have been activated unnecessarily due to excessive amounts of body spray. GFD aired out the room and reset the alarm before returning to station at 12:54 p.m.

• At 4:26 p.m. on Thursday, GFD responded to a fire alarm but was disregarded while en route to 97 Autumn Glen Dr. GFD returned to station at 4:40 p.m.
