MISSING FATHER
IS
TAKEN IN CHARGE
----------
Sheriff of Johnson County Arrested
Jerry Isgrigg on a Local Warrant
----------
Jerry Isgrigg, missing from this city
since last June and divorced by his wife several months ago was arrested
Thursday by the sheriff of Johnson county on a warrant issued in the Shelby
circuit court charging him with failing to support his children. Isgrigg was
taken in charge at Jollity in Johnson county, was brought to this city and
placed in the county jail.
The charge against
Isgrigg was filed here last Tuesday by his wife, who has been living with her
parents in Hendricks township. Mrs. Isgrigg was granted a divorce from her
husband recently in the Shelby circuit court on a charge of abandonment and he
was ordered to pay support for their two children. Isgrigg left his wife and two
children last June and nothing was heard of him after that. He has never
contributed anything toward the support of the children since leaving home,
according to Mrs. Isgrigg.
Bond in the case of Isgrigg was fixed at $500
in the Shelby circuit court Thursday evening. Efforts were being made today by
Isgrigg to provide the amount of bond for his release from jail pending the
hearing in the case.
