City Police

One recent arrest was reported by Greencastle City Police officers.

• At 11:08 p.m. Sunday, Nacole Capps, 30, Greencastle, was arrested by Officer Elsiana Crosby after police were called to the 400 block of Bloomington Street on the report of a person lying in the roadway.

There they reportedly found Capps, who was originally taken to Putnam County Hospital where she registefred a .212 percent blood-alcohol content (more than twice the legal limit of .08 percent).

Charged with public intoxication, Capps was then lodged in the Putnam County Jail.

Sheriff’s Department

Putnam County Deputies investigated one recent property-damage crash.

• At 6:38 p.m. Friday, Brennan C. Barnes, 32, Greencastle, was northbound on County Road 600 West approaching the intersection with County Road 500 South in a 2014 Equinox.

The traffic pattern gives northbound traffic the right-of-way to continue onto 500 South. Southbound traffic, however, has to stop at the intersection.

Barnes told Deputy Daniel Birt he was approaching the intersection when a blue Saturn car driven by an unknown male was southbound. The car reportedly disregarded the stop sign and turned right in front of Barnes, striking his vehicle.

The car, which Barnes could not identify as a coupe or sedan, hit the passenger front quarter panel and front passenger side bumper of the Equinox. The impact caused the Saturn to rise up on the SUV and leave an imprint from its driver’s side mirror across the hood of the Equinox.

The Saturn then continued westbound, hitting a mailbox and hydroplaning as it sped away.

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

The Greencastle Fire Department responded to two recent dispatches:

• At 5:49 p.m. on Monday, GFD was dispatched to 410 S. Indiana St. for a fire alarm. Firefighters arrived at about 5:50 and determined the alarm was due to cooking. The alarm was then reset. GFD left at 5:53 p.m.

• At 7:45 p.m. on Monday, GFD was dispatched to 508 S. Indiana St. for a fire alarm. Firefighters arrived at 7:48 and determined the alarm was due to cooking. The alarm was then reset. GFD left at 7:51 p.m.
