On 10/22/23, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Roddy A. Courtright, age 68, of Mt. Carmel for Aggravated Domestic Battery following a domestic dispute at 1149 W 3rd Street. Upon arrival to the trailer park, police found that during the dispute, Courtright grabbed his wife by the throat and choked her. Another subject at the scene admitted they called 911 after witnessing the incident. Police began to check the area for Courtright as he had already left the residence before their arrival. Eventually, the arresting officer located Courtright hiding in some bushes near the trailer. Courtright was placed under arrest and transported to the Wabash County Jail where he was held pending a pretrial detention determination by the court.
