CARMI, Ill. - A report of an item stolen - inexplicably - and a break-up of an alleged domestic battery comprise today's Carmi city police report.
The inexplicable theft is of an item only few would have use for: an oxygen tank.
Cynthia Ann Mitchell, 54, of the 500 block of Oak Street, reported to Carmi Police yesterday morning (Thursday, December 27) at 9:56 a.m. that that very thing occurred.
Mitchell told police that sometime between December 23 and 27th, someone took her oxygen tank, which was stored in a garage at an unoccupied residence.
Besides the bizarre (and apparently merely opportunistic) theft, Carmi PD handled an alleged domestic between two 20-nothings on Foley drive late last night, which got both of them locked up.
Reports indicate that Carmi officers were called to a residence on the 700 block of Foley Drive late last night (11:32 p.m.) reference the disturbance.
They arrested the two - Kathlyn Grant, 21, and Alex Daniel Rose, 20, both reporting the address as theirs - for Domestic Battery and, bonus: Both were issued citations for civil cannabis violations before being toted off to jail for the Dom Batt.
Apparently not taking advantage of the peaceful bliss weed brings to individuals upon use, the two probably wish they'd have toked before getting into whatever argument lead to the alleged battery, as they both remain behind bars as of today, Friday, Dec. 28.
