ALBION â While the coronavirus has kept the bulk of northeastern Indiana cooped up, it actually has brought some temporary extended freedom for some alleged offenders.
When Shelby L. Barrington, 28, of Columbia City was arrested Jan. 5 by Kendallville Police Department Patrolman Blake Kugler for allegedly possessing more than 10 grams of methamphetamine, she wasnât taken to jail for the Level 4 felony charge.
âThe jail was closed,â Noble County Prosecuting Attorney Jim Mowery said. âIt wasnât accepting any low-level offenses.â
Noble County Sheriff Max Weber had closed the jail to most new offenders after an outbreak of COVID-19 struck the facility. The jail was closed from the end of 2020 through Monday of this week.
