On 10/08/22, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Thomas A. Woodyard, age 47, and Brittany L. Swift, age 32, both of Mt. Carmel, on charges of Domestic Battery and Resisting/Obstructing a Peace Officer. Police were called to a residence in the 400 block of E 7th Street regarding an alleged dispute between Woodyard and Swift, who are in a dating relationship. Once on scene, police found evidence to indicate both parties had shoved each other, and that Woodyard had forcefully pulled Swift into their residence. When police went to arrest Woodyard, he resisted while Swift attempted to pull one of the officers away from their active efforts of arresting Woodyard. Woodyard was eventually taken into custody followed by Swift, who continued to resist. Both were transported to the Wabash County Jail where they were charged and are being held pending a pre-trial hearing to determine their release. Mt. Carmel Police were assisted by the Wabash County Sheriff’s Office.
