Carmi Police were busy over the weekend.
Police responded to a disturbance at a residence on Smith Street late Friday night. There, Jon Brassard and Kimberly Rose were booked for Domestic Battery. Monday morning, both Brassard and Rose went before Judge T. Scott Webb and were released, with Brassard having an Arraignment on April 6 at 9:30 am and Rose’s Arraignment on April 27 at 9:30 am.
This isn’t the first time the pair have had domestic battery charges against themselves. Back in 2025, both faced the charge, but their cases were dismissed at the victim’s request.
