38 year old Jesse G. Stephens of Carmi remains held in the White County Jail, following his arrest Monday night by Carmi Police for burglary, criminal trespass to a residence (persons present), and theft (of Cocoa Puffs).

Monday at approximately 8:45 pm Carmi Police responded to 207 3rd Street in reference to an intruder inside the residence. The caller reported to dispatch that a white male subject wearing jeans with a blanket draped over himself was inside his home eating his food and the intruder left out the backdoor when confronted.

Officers went to the location and upon entering the building observed the male subject described to officers as the intruder appeared to be passed out.

Because people like you need to get a life. It’s bad enough being locked up without you sniffing around at mug shots. Cheers.
