A Jennings County Jail officer was arrested after a fight and gunshots Friday night near Butlerville.

According to the Jennings County Sheriff’s Department, several people called to report an accident between an ATV and a car and a dispute between the drivers. Witnesses reported that a man was on the hood of the vehicle, trying to prevent the car from leaving. While deputies were on their way, shots were reportedly fired at the scene.

Deputies arrived to find a car parked in a lot with the female driver waiting for police to arrive. Based on her report and lack of damage, deputies concluded there was no evidence a collision has actually happened. They also found that the man who climbed onto her vehicle’s hood had pulled a gun and fired several shots into the ground.

26-year-old Harlan Pennycuff of North Vernon was arrested on charges including criminal confinement, pointing a firearm and criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon.

The sheriff’s department also said he was immediately fired from his job as a jail officer.
