Prosecutor files nearly half-million dollars worth of non-support
The Putnam County Prosecutor’s Office has filed criminal charges totaling nearly a half-million dollars in ongoing local non-support cases, including one case of more than $50,000.
Prosecutor Tim Bookwalter was admittedly surprised to see the 22 non-support cases total $453,403.62 after they were added up.
“We couldn’t enforce them for the past couple of years due to Covid,” Bookwalter explained, telling the Banner Graphic that warrants have been requested for the arrest of the 22 parents delinquent in their support of dependent children.
