Washington Man Arrested Twice In One Day

On 9/19/23 at 2:56 a.m., Mt. Carmel Police arrested Andrew S. Ellis, age 34, of Washington, Indiana following an incident at the apartments located at 1230 N Walnut Street.  Police were called to the scene when the victim reported Ellis repeatedly beating on their door off and on for the last two nights. The victim had a past relationship with Ellis and wanted these actions to stop.  The victim signed a complaint against Ellis for Disorderly Conduct resulting in his arrest.  Ellis was charged and later released on a Notice to Appear.  Later that day, at 11:34 a.m. officers responded to the Mt. Carmel City Park to handle a two-vehicle crash.  Upon arrival, officers learned that Ellis had caused the collision by slamming on his brakes causing the earlier complainant to strike his vehicle.  According to an uninvolved witness, the Ellis vehicle aggressively drove around the other driver to get in front of them before quickly stopping to cause the crash.  Ellis was placed under arrest for Reckless Driving and taken to the Wabash County Jail where he was charged.  Ellis was later released on a Notice to Appear.
