BLOOMFIELD, Ind. — Greene County’s Richland Township Fire and Rescue removed one of its volunteer firefighters from service Friday after local officials learned of his pending molestation charges.

According to court documents, Adam B. Carver, 37, of Bloomfield, was arrested on preliminary charges of one Class A and two Class C counts of felony molestation. As of Sunday afternoon, Carver remained in the Greene County Jail with a bond amount of $60,000.

“The moment we learned of his charges, he was immediately terminated from membership at this department, pending the resolution of his criminal cases,” Chief Ken Hinkle said in an email.
