NORTH VERNON, Ind.– The North Vernon Police Department (NVPD) made two arrests in connection with an active arrest warrant on Wednesday, November 19.
At approximately 1 p.m., Officers went to a residence at around 1 p.m. and spoke with a male who they believed to have an active warrant.
During the encounter, the individual provided officers with a false name. He was eventually identified as Donald Friley, 58, of Butlerville.

While detaining Friley, a second man arrived on the scene. He was identified as Daniel Perry, 66, of North Vernon.
