On 8/30/22, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Charles C. Brown III, age 43, of Mt. Carmel, for Domestic Battery following an investigation into an alleged domestic dispute. The alleged victim walked to the police department to report her boyfriend, Charles Brown, had struck her in the head and broken the front window of her vehicle. The victim reported that earlier in the day, Brown became upset over relationship issues and punched the front windshield which shattered the window. Later in the evening, while at their home in the 1900 block of N Cherry, the argument reignited, leading to Brown striking the victim in the left side of the head with his hand. The victim then left the home to come to the police department when Brown entered the vehicle as well. Upon arriving at 4th & Market Street, the victim informed Brown she was going to the bank, and instead responded to the police department. After investigating the allegations further and finding supporting evidence, Brown was taken into custody for the above offense; however, the victim declined to pursue charges for the damage to her vehicle. Brown is being held at the Wabash County Jail pending a bond setting by a judge.
