Sheriff’s Department

Putnam County sheriff’s deputies investigated one recent property-damage crash.

• At 3:33 p.m. on Monday, Elijsh R. Warner, 16, Greencastle, was southbound on County Road 200 East in Bainbridge in a 2006 Ford Focus. Bainbridge Police Officer James E. Seipel, 26, Greencastle, was ahead of Warner in a 2012 Dodge Charger police cruiser registered to the Town of Bainbridge.

Seipel told Deputy Randy Patrick he was stopped in traffic when Warner rear-ended him.

Damage to Warner’s car was extensive enough to require a tow.

Patrick estimated damage at $2,500-$5,000.
