Bloomington Man Charged with Violating Stay-at-Home Order after Crashing Vehicle
By
(BLOOMINGTON) — A 20-year-old man was arrested after violating Gov. Eric Holcomb’s stay-at-home order.
He also is among the first in Indiana to be charged with violating the just-imposed local disaster emergency order, a misdemeanor that carries a penalty of a $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail.
At about 4:20 a.m. on Wednesday, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department was called to an accident scene on State Road 45. A deputy found a Ford F-150 had left the road and crashed into multiple trees.
The sheriff’s office said Baker didn’t meet the parameters as permitted travel.
