A Carmi man and a Maunie man were booked and released with Notices to Appear following their arrests Friday. It was just after midnight when Carmi Police pulled over 30-year-old Jacob Blazier near the intersection of Fifth and Shipley. The report indicates Blazier was stopped for no registration light on his vehicle resulting in his subsequent arrest for Driving while License Suspended. Blazier was booked and released in about an hour. In addition, he also received a citation for Operation of an Uninsured Motor Vehicle.
Later Friday, shortly after 8:30pm, Carmi Police pulled over 46-year-old Richard Hargrove of Maunie on Main at Main Cross. He was arrested for Driving while License Suspended, booked and released with an NTA within the hour.
Following a relatively quiet Saturday, Carmi Police made one other arrest, this one on Sunday
afternoon when they pulled over 39-year-old Kenneth Henderson of McLeansboro in the CVS parking lot. Police say Henderson was driving with no license plates prompting the stop. After investigation, Henderson is now facing charges of Driving while License Suspended, Unlawful Possession of an Open Title, No Valid Registrtaion, Operating an Uninsured Motor Vehicle, and Unlawful Use of License. Thanks to the SAFE-T Act, Henderson was consequently released with a Notice to Appear. The McLeansboro man will be due in White County court on April 29th at 9am.
