CARMI, Ill. - Carmi Police had a relatively easy pre-holiday weekend, although the couple of people arrested probably would beg to differ.
It seems like everything broke loose Sunday, December 22, when authorities were called to a scene on the 400 block of Seventh Street, in reference to a reported altercation.
There, they found 39-year-old Danny Stephens, of either Seventh Street in Carmi or of a location on Olive Street in McLeansboro depending on which document is being referenced, and took him into custody on a number of arresting charges: Domestic Battery, Aggravated Battery, and Criminal Damage to Property.
There also was the matter of a felony warrant arrest as issued by Illinois Department of Corrections, which provided documents don't explain any further.
Stephens remained in White County lockup as of this evening, Wednesday, December 26.
A Crossville woman was taken into custody Sunday, December 23, when very early in the morning (1:59 a.m.), she was stopped for driving on the wrong side of the road on Fifth Street in Carmi.
Miranda K. Kuykendall, 36, of West Winkler in Crossville, was arrested for DUI after she blew a .224 on the portable breath alcohol concentration unit.
She was able to post suitable bond for the infraction and went on her way shortly after her arrest and booking (4:19 a.m., making a long night of ostensible partying even longer.)
