A man charged with Aggravated Burglary in Putnam County is due in court later this month. According to a Press Release from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office, on February 20, 2023, Deputies responded to a call on Bars Mill Road in reference to a reported shooting. A woman called authorities after arriving at her sister’s house to feed the dogs when she spotted a male subject covered in blood claiming that he needed help after suffering a gunshot wound. The woman quickly got back in her car and left the residence. Deputy Sergeant Brian Haworth arrived on scene to take over the investigation and was informed that a 2002 red GMC Sierra had been stolen off of the property and a door on the residence had been kicked in. It was later determined that Skiler Blackwell was the individual who broke in and stole the vehicle. Blackwell was later spotted in the vehicle on N Washington and taken into custody. Detective Sergeant Brian Haworth arrested and charged Blackwell with Aggravated Burglary and Theft of Property. Blackwell has a bond of $7,500 and a court date set for March 22, 2023.
