The Hardin County Detention Center has once again reported less operating expenses. Hardin County announced Tuesday that the jail had made around $600,000 in cuts for Fiscal year 2020, which ended in June.
Jailer Josh Lindblom says the jail renegotiated many key contracts, including food services. Lindblom previously reported cuts of roughly $400,000 in his first six months in office.
An Elizabethtown man was arrested earlier this week after he allegedly assaulted two different people. Officer Chris Denham said EPD officers arrested Justin Joiner on Monday after receiving a previous complaint warrant.
Reportedly, the pipe had hair on it from the strike to the male victim’s face, and the female family member had visible marks on her right cheek from the altercation. Joiner was lodged in the Hardin County Detention Center.
