Mt. Carmel Man Arrested After Altercation With MCPD Officers

On 6/13/2020, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Austin W. Moore, age 30, of Mt. Carmel, for Resisting/Obstructing a Peace Officer. Police were called to an address in the 300 block of West 4th Street because Moore was yelling for someone to call the police. It was also reported that Moore had made statements about shooting and stabbing the police as well. Once officers arrived at the scene, Moore was located and possessed two knives, one in each hand. Moore began to walk towards law enforcement but was ordered to the ground. Moore failed to comply until Ofc. Hopper and K-9 Ace arrived for backup at which time Moore complied. Moore was eventually transported to the Wabash County Jail where he was charged and held pending the posting of bond.
