Police 10g... On Friday, October 5, a Bremen resident was arrested for driving while intoxicated after he was seen swerving his car from side to side. A Nappanee Police Officer noticed Donald K. Butts’ 1972 AMC being driven south in the 700 block of South Main Street and stopped the car after it began swerving. Butts, of 4084 West Shore Drive, Bremen, failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Nappanee Police Department. He also failed a breathalizer test with a blood alcohol content of .15. He was later incarcerated in the Elkhart County Security Center under a SI,OOO bond. October 7, police were informed of juveniles smashing pumpkins on North Main Street during the early morning hours. Since the whole road was covered in debris, cars were stopping. A witness recognized one of the juveniles, who has been charged with obstructing traffic. The Nappanee Fire and Police Departments were called to 151 South Metzler Street on October 6, to respond to a fire. The cause of the fire, according to the Nappanee Fire Department, was a candle burning unattended.
