Mt. Carmel Police Chief Mike McWilliams told the city council this week that his officers have been successful in taking at least 10 illegal guns off the streets. McWilliams said the 10 guns are a lot for a given month in Mt. Carmel and they were seized from felons who are barred from legally having a gun. He said 5 of the guns, including a stolen one, were taken from one convicted felon alone.
McWilliams also reported that his department is taking over dispatching Mt. Carmel Public Utility crews to after-hours gas leak calls….
Public Utility President David James thanked the city for the dispatching partnership and said the agreement will improve overall system reliability for customers.
