Mt. Carmel Man Jailed For Domestic Battery After Throwing Milkshake At Family Member

On 11/21/22, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Clayton S. Kirkman, age 36, of Mt. Carmel, for Domestic Battery and Reckless Driving. MCPD received numerous calls regarding a white Toyota driving around Mt. Carmel speeding, running stop signs, and squealing its tires. Police stopped the vehicle in the 300 block of E 9th Street and found Kirkman to be the driver. Kirkman’s excuse for his driving was to get the attention of a cop. As police were citing Kirkman for reckless driving a family member arrived on scene. Kirkman became upset with the family member and threw a milkshake he was holding towards them, striking them in the head. Kirkman was then placed under arrest at this time for domestic battery. Kirkman was transported to the Wabash County Jail where he was charged and held pending a determination for pre-trial detention.
