25-year-old Shane Simmons is behind bars again after a welfare check allegedly turned violent. Carmi EMS workers Adam Allen and Alan Wurst were called to see about Simmons on East Cherry just before 5pm Thursday. Simmons was subsequently arrested after authorities say he threatened bodily harm on the two men. He’s facing charges of Aggravated Battery and Assault along with Resisting a Peace Officer. He’s currently behind bars at the White County Jail. The battery and assault charges are being filed as felonies. Simmons was in trouble earlier this year pleading guilty to Disorderly Conduct after an incident in August. He had been placed on 2 years of probation, ordered to pay a fine and sent for medical/mental treatment.
