On 10/06/22, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Freddie L. Swift, age 44, of Mt. Carmel, for Assault and Disorderly Conduct following an incident in the 1000 block of Pear Street. Police were called to the scene when a visibly intoxicated Swift confronted a next-door resident who asked Swift and another male subject to quit repeatedly honking a car horn. Afterward, Swift yelled profanities at the next-door resident and then threatened to batter the resident’s husband who had just arrived on scene. During this threat, Swift also struck the driver’s side window of the vehicle belonging to the husband. Swift was placed under arrest and transported to the Wabash County Jail where he was charged with the above offenses and held pending a pre-trial detention hearing.
