One alcohol-related arrest was reported by Greencastle City Police officers.

• At 4:57 a.m. Wednesday, Amanda Davidson, 46, Greencastle, was lodged in the Putnam County Jail on charges of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, criminal recklessness and leaving the scene of a property-damage accident.

Results of a chemical test administered at Putnam County Hospital showed Davidson with a blood-alcohol content figure of .25 percent, more than three times the legal limit.

Davidson was arrested in the Greencastle High School parking lot by Officer Zach Rhine. She was taken to the hospital with a bloody lip following the accident.

Police were advised of a possible impaired driver at 1:01 a.m. after a resident walking his dog was almost struck by the Davidson vehicle, a 1996 GMC Astrovan.

Police said Davidson’s vehicle struck two mailboxes, owned by Jeremy Voege and Larry Dickerson, on Avenue D, along with a 2010 Ford owned by Barbara Rader.
