Sheriff’s Dept. Two rural Fillmore people were taken to Putnam County Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in a one-car accident at 2:14 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of County Road 300 E and County Road 50S. Angela M. Anderson, 19, Route 1, Fillmore was treated for facial bruises while Darrin Huff, a passenger in Anderson’s car, was treated for a bruised shoulder, following the accident. Acording to a police report, Anderson was southbound on County Road 50S while talking with Huff. She said she was unfamiliar with the road and not aware of a stop sign where the two roads come to a T. Skid marks at the scene show the Anderson car slid about 30 feet, before leaving the roadway and hitting a tree. Anderson’s 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass was listed as a total loss. Timothy M. Oliver, 18, Route 1, Reelsville, was arrested at 12:30 a.m. Friday by Deputy Mike Biggs for attempted theft. He remains incarcerated in the Putnam County Jail. City Police A pair of traffic tickets were issued overnight by Greencastle City Police. At 8:25 p.m., Sgt. Mike Hanlon ticketed Kristen Koch, 19, Evansville, for going the wrong way on a one-way street on Anderson Street. Officer Jeff Hampton ticketed Roda Merryman, 20, New Albany, for speeding at 11:56 p.m. She was cited for 50 mph in a 30-mph zone on Washington Street. Greencastle Fire Dept. Two false alarms were the only action for firefighters Thursday. A 10:07 p.m. alarm at the Warren Lear residence at 330 Greenwood Ave. was investigated by fire officials. No fire was found and firefighters returned to their station at 10:38 p.m. A DePauw University student pulled a fire extinguisher off the wall at Alpha Chi Omega fraternity at 3:10 a.m. Friday. That set off the fire alarm at the frat house. However, no fire was found and personnel were back on station at 3:31 a.m. Putnam County Court Criminal cases filed: Tuesday, Feb. 6 Joseph A. Greene, driving while intoxicated. Correction An article in Tuesday’s BannerGraphic headlined “CCSC opposes quarry reopening” was inaccurate, according to Cloverdale Community School Corp. Supt. John McKinney. He says the school board has not taken a vote to either support or oppose the planned stone quarry proposed by Martin Marietta Aggregates. Instead, McKinney said, the board voted to spend SIO,OOO to document the current physical condition of its buildings and to authorize legal research as the the CCSC’s legal rights and responsibilities in respect to the Martin Marietta expansion project. The board did not vote to take a stand on the issue, McKinney said. Clarification Jack Hanneman, listed as a defendant in a recent Putnam scanner item, resides at Route 3, Box 51, Greencastle, not at 306 W. Washington St., Greencastle, as previously reported by authorities.
