From MCPD Chief Ryan Turner: The Mt. Carmel Police Department would like to address rumors concerning events occurring this weekend at Merchants Park. There will be a rally at Merchants Park from 4p-6p. The event is called Mt. Carmel Rally for Justice. The Mt. Carmel Police have been in contact with participants, and we have no reason to believe this is going to be anything but a peaceful gathering of individuals voicing their Constitutional rights. At this point, rumors of individuals arriving to cause a disturbance are just that, a rumor. The Mt. Carmel Police continue to be in contact with organizers, and should something change, and the public will be notified.
