The City of Salem will continue its use of the Community Crossings grant with work on N Shelby Street.
As announced in April, this award will continue construction at Bristol to SR 56. The work will provide important improvements to the road and a new sidewalk to allow more travel options for pedestrians.
The project is made possible through the Community Crossings matching grant program, part of Indiana’s Next Level Roads program. The City of Salem was awarded over $450,000 by Governor Holcomb last April for road and infrastructure improvements.
“We are excited to continue work on road and infrastructure improvements in Salem with the newest leg of our Community Crossings project. To thrive as a city, we must make these critical investments in our community,” says Mayor Justin Green.
Construction on this segment is expected to move faster than previous projects, as there are less utilities within this stretch of road. One lane of traffic will stay open on N Shelby Street for traffic flow.
Expected project completion is the end of August.
Washington County - Indiana State Police (ISP) detectives arrested a Fredericksburg man Monday morning following a physical altercation and shooting in rural Washington County near Salem.
Around 4:30 Monday morning, officers from the Salem Police Department and the Washington County Sheriff's Department responded to a 911 call reporting a person suffering from a gunshot wound was stopped on State Road 56 near East Wallace Lane just east of Salem.
When officers arrived, they found 51-year-old Jed Elliott of North Franklin Church Road behind the wheel of a pickup truck and suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the arm. A female friend accompanied Elliott in the truck. EMS quickly transported Elliott to University Hospital in Louisville for non-life-threatening injuries, and the Washington County Sheriff's Department requested that ISP detectives and crime scene investigators assume the investigation.
Detectives Travis Baker and Steven Peyton and Crime Scene Investigator Andrew Taylor responded. During the investigation, Detective Baker learned that Jed Elliott pulled behind a shed at his residence in the early morning hours. Tyler Dylan Gay, of Fredericksburg, was also at that residence and observed Elliot, whom he recognized, pull in behind the shed. Investigators believe Gay then walked from the residence armed with a handgun and confronted Jed Elliott. The two men were then involved in a physical altercation, during which Tyler Gay fired the pistol, striking Elliott in the arm. After being shot, Elliott and his friend fled the scene before stopping on the side of State Road 56 and calling 911.
As a result of the investigation, Detective Baker arrested Tyler Dylan Gay for Aggravated Battery, a Level 3 Felony. Officers transported Tyler Gay to the Washington County Jail without incident.
This case is still under investigation.
“All subjects are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.”
