According to Harlan Police, 47-year old Timothy Turner, of Harlan, was arrested on an OWI/2nd offense charge as well as for Driving Under Suspension. And, 26-year old Zane Szeliga, of Harlan, was charged with Public Intoxication, after officers responded to a reported disturbance in the 500 block of Market Street. Both men were booked into the Shelby County Jail.

And, last Friday, 24-year old Janice Massey, of Harlan, was cited for allowing a dog to run at large, after officers investigated a report of a dog allegedly attacking children in Little George Park. The aggressive dog, belonging to Shawn Schechinger, of Harlan, was surrendered to the animal shelter.

The H-PD said also, Kirk Petersen, of Harlan, suffered from shoulder pain and scrapes during a motorcycle accident last Friday.
