Kaiglynn Harvey

A 19-year-old Greencastle woman might be spending the Christmas holiday in jail after her arrest Sunday morning on six charges.

Kaiglynn Harvey was arrested at 6:40 a.m. Sunday by Greencastle City Police Officer Elsiana Crosby following a one-vehicle accident in the 900 block of South Jackson Street.

Booked into the Putnam County Jail at 8:35 a.m. Sunday, Harvey is facing preliminary charges of:

• Disorderly conduct.

• Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.

• Reckless driving.

• Domestic battery.

• Being a minor in consumption of alcohol.

• Criminal recklessness with a vehicle.

According to Crosby’s report, Harvey refused to let her male passenger drive and then reportedly floored the accelerator, causing the vehicle to reach speeds in excess of 80 mph.

The vehicle ultimately struck a red Dodge and crashed into a fence.

The male passenger tried to stop the speeding vehicle by first putting the transmission into park and then by puling the emergency brake.

For his trouble, the passenger reportedly was repeatedly struck by Harvey, who later tried to run the man over with the vehicle, authorities said. The passenger was later taken to Putnam County Hospital.

Officer Crosby was assisted at the scene by DePauw University Police.

  • vincenteunice46 she may be young but definitely not a wasted life. There's still hope for her young life with the right help. Remember she is human we all make mistakes.

  • This young girl has had such a rough life leading up to this point. I pray she figures her life out for the sake of her two young babies.

  • Are those strangulation marks on her neck?

  • kbmom no those are self defense marks left from the passenger of her car whom she repeatedly hit and was trying to run over! If you could only see his face you would understand her marks.

  • Looking at her smirking in the photo tells me she's nuts. She may need to take more vitamin supplements to help level her head out more.

  • PeterPan: we're so fortunate here in Putnam County to have a psychiatrist who can diagnose from just a mugshot! Please post your face so everyone can decide what help you need!
