A 22 year old Mt. Carmel man is being held in the Wabash County Jail after being arrested on a Wabash County warrant for aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Brendan Schell was arrested following a Mt. Carmel Police investigation that was initiated by a sexual abuse allegation against Schell. He was located in the 100 block of West 8th Street where he was taken into custody and transported to the Wabash County Jail.

Schell is being held on a $4,000 cash bond, plus he is on parole from the Department of Corrections, who also issued a warrant with no bond.

Schell was one of two teens arrested in 2016 for an armed robbery at the Grayville Casey’s General Store after brandishing a compound bow and arrow at the clerk. He was sentenced to 8 years on that Class X felony before being paroled in May of 2019.
