Trailer Park Dispute Results In Arrest Of Mt. Carmel Woman

 

On 8/22/23, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Doreen K. Powell, age 44, of Mt. Carmel for Aggravated Assault.  Police were called to the T.P. Trailer Park to investigate a claim that Powell had threatened physical harm to a neighbor while holding a 2 x 4 with screws protruding from it.  It was alleged that Powell had returned to the neighboring trailer due to a recent dispute.  When the alleged victim called 911 Powell dropped the piece of wood and returned home.  An uninvolved witness confirmed the allegations and that Powell made statements of wanting to hurt the other party as she walked to their trailer.  Powell was placed under arrest and transported to the Wabash County Jail where she was charged and held pending the posting of bond.
