CARRIER MILLS—A very strange situation has arisen in Carrier Mills with their city water department clerk, a Juggalo, and the clerk’s daughter.
The above photos are all from Facebook pages of the parties involved: Carrier Mills water department clerk Jessica Simmons, 36; Cody Perez, age unknown; and Jessica’s daughter Chelsea, age 14 or 15.
It’s been reported that the clerk parties with her daughter, which is why they have so many fun pics to work with.
Anyway, here’s the story as it’s been told to us: During the Gathering of the Juggaloes in August of this year down in Hardin County, clerk Simmons went to watch and participate. She happened upon Perez, a ‘lo from Oklahoma. And not just any ‘lo from Oklahoma, but one who had been under suspicion of murdering and dismembering a 19-year-old ‘lette, Carina Saunders, in his home state, and leaving the parts in a duffel bag in a Mustang. He was, however, exonerated of that suspicion. And somehow found his way to Illinois. Where he hooked up with Jessica, and she brought him home to Carrier Mills.
Locals have been concerned with Perez since being aware of his long criminal record and being the once-named person of interest in the murder case. They started paying attention to what he was doing and who he was with, especially after clerk Jessica pulled her daughter out of school after taking Perez in to her house.
Witnesses in Carrier Mills state that they have repeatedly seen Cody Perez and Chelsea Simmons holding hands around town when Jessica is at work. Jessica took her daughter out of public school earlier this year and Perez is supposed to be home schooling her.
Recently, Jessica came to a local club with Perez, who proceeded to get into a fight with one of the members about him being in a members ONLY club.
This isn’t the first time a physical altercation has taken place in the Mills with Perez: there are reportedly pictures of clerk Jessica slapping him in the face in front of her work place, the water office.
On Sunday night, October 19, scanner listeners heard a call to Oak Street in Carrier Mills.
Witnesses (a local man and his sons) had called the cops on Perez when the sons noticed Perez SLAPPING CHELSEA AROUND. The father notified he was “gonna call the cops,” at which time Perez attacked the father in a fight. The 19-year-old and 12-year-old son got into the fight. Perez was stated to be “crazy on drugs” because he kept getting back up to fight again. Police announce they had to TASER Perez and hog-tie him for resisting arrest. Even after he was arrested, he was head-butting the cop cruiser windows; he had to be placed on the cruiser in his stomach. Police confirmed to us this morning that Perez was beat up pretty badly, all of his own doing, and somehow also managed to shuck his clothes during the fight; he was fully dressed when it started, but by the time it was over and he was arrested, he was wearing only boxers.
While it was reported that Perez was taken in on eight preliminary charges, none can be found on judici right now; only an order of protection the man who witnessed the slapping and had his kids call 911 had taken out against Perez. Charges may be pending, however.
According to Carrier Mills residents we’ve spoken with, folks are relieved that the little punk is in jail and hope he doesn’t come back; he had been harassing people & businesses in Carrier Mills leading up to the arrest.
