Sullivan County—At 2:59 this afternoon, Indiana State Police officers from the Putnamville Post arrested a former employee of the WTWO NBC 2 news station for the alleged early morning shooting of the news/administration building and two vehicles in the parking area.

Kenneth Trey Bolinger, age 24, of Farmersburg, IN. Bolinger has been preliminarily charged with one count of Criminal Recklessness with a Deadly Weapon, Class C felony, and three counts of Criminal Mischief, Class D felony. He is in the Sullivan County Jail on $39,000 bond. He was taken into custody without incident.

As the investigation progressed throughout the day, detectives secured a Sullivan County arrest warrant for Bolinger, along with a Sullivan County search warrant for the home he shares with his parents at 704 West Main Street in Farmersburg.
