Overview

• Deputies arrested 38-year-old Steven Gray of Markleville at the shoreline after his pickup became submerged at Meadowbrook Golf Course in Anderson, Indiana.
• Gray is being held in the Madison County Jail on preliminary counts that include resisting law enforcement, possession of a syringe, animal neglect, reckless driving, criminal mischief, and a parole violation out of Boone County.
• Officers initially believed Gray was alone until a puppy surfaced struggling to swim, at which point deputies pulled the animal to safety.
• The puppy received care through the Animal Protection League and veterinarians, with reports noting treatment for aspiration pneumonia and describing its condition as critical but stable before improving.
• The pursuit caused thousands of dollars in damage at the golf course, and the puppy is expected to be offered for adoption after it recovers.
