Judy Jackson, Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman, says that shortly after 5 p.m., Deputy Adam Warner responded to a call about a fight in the 5100 block of County Road 450 East. When Warner arrived, he reported finding a semi-conscious man on the ground. The suspect, 22-year-old Elliott Blackburn, allegedly confessed to authorities that he had battered the 24-year-old victim.

The victim was taken to Columbus Regional Hospital with injuries to his face. Jackson says the man was later transported to an Indianapolis hospital for surgery. His condition is unknown.

Blackburn is being held without bond on a preliminary charge of Battery Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury.
