SALINE CO.— An Eldorado man already charged in a case of violence is now facing an additional felony.
According to information filed in the case, Benjamin C. White, 25, of 1020 Lincoln St., Eldorado, has been charged with Criminal Damage to Government Supported Property after authorities say on October 29 he knowingly damaged the window in visitation booth #5 of the Saline County Law Enforcement and Detention Center, located at 1 North Main St., Harrisburg.
The damage was estimated to be in excess of $500 but less than $10,000.
After squeaking out of several violence convictions over the years, White was found guilty November 28, 2011 of an amended misdemeanor charged of Resisting a Peace Officer for which he was sentenced to 20 days in the county jail, probation for 18 months and ordered to pay $1,978.20, of which he still owes $1,656.20.
A Domestic Battery conviction May 1, 2013 landed White in the Illinois Department of Corrections on a two and a half years sentence.
He still owes $538.20 from that case.
Cash bond in the case was set at $1,000.
