Mt. Carmel Man Arrested For Resisting/Obstructing Police

On 6/23/19 Mt. Carmel Police arrested Clyde E. Bartley, age 30, of Mt. Carmel, for Resisting/Obstructing a Peace Officer. Officers were called to a residence in the 800 block of West 6th Street in reference to an unwanted person. Before officers could arrive a dispute occurred between the home owner and the unwanted subject Clyde Bartley. Once officers arrived on scene they spoke to both parties. Bartley became loud and unruly during thistime which resulted in officers requesting he quiet down or face arrest. Bartley elected to place himself in a nearby squad car. When officers ordered Bartley out of the vehicle (Bartley was not under arrest at this time nor in handcuffs) he lunged towards the officers. Bartley was then placed under arrest and transported to the Wabash County Jail. Bartley was later charged and held pending the posting of bond. Mt. Carmel Police were assisted by the Wabash County Sheriff's Office.
