Sheriff’s Department

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

• At 8:37 p.m. on Wednesday, Jeffrey S. Neimeyer, 41, was eastbound on U.S. 40 at County Road 475 East in a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado pulling a trailer.

Neimeyer came upon an icy road surface while traveling, which caused the trailer to jackknife and force the truck into the median.

There were no injuries and the truck and trailer were operable.

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