Sheriff’s Department

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

• At 3:18 a.m. on Friday, William R. Camp Jr., 55, Fontanet, was eastbound on Interstate 70 near the 41.5-mile marker in a 1997 Peterbilt 379 tow truck registered to Camp’s Wrecker Service.

As Camp was driving, the vehicle he was towing lost a rear driver side tire and wheel, which came to rest in the middle of the interstate.

Harold E. Castle, 66, Yorba Linda, Calif., was eastbound in a 2017 Freightliner Cascadia when he hit the other vehicle’s wheel. This caused the right front tire to explode and caused moderate damage to the side skirt of the tractor cab.

No injuries were reported.

Deputy Jeffery Freeman estimated damage at $2,500-$5,000.

City Fire

The Greencastle Fire Department responded to three recent dispatches:

•At 12:51 p.m. on Monday, GFD was dispatched to 414 S. Indiana St. for a fire alarm. Firefighters arrived at 12:54 and determined that the alarm was due to cooking. The alarm was then reset. GFD left at 1:01 p.m.

•At 3:37 a.m. on Tuesday, GFD was dispatched to 620 Anderson St. for a fire alarm. Firefighters arrived at 3:49 but found no visible fire. The alarm was also not sounding.

•At 3:34 a.m. on Tuesday, GFD was dispatched to 1653 E. County Road 350 S for a car fire. Firefighters arrived at 3:46 and extinguished the fire with some difficulty getting to the car.
