Three Arrested On Alcohol Related Offenses Following Sunday Incident


On 12/22/24, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Gage A. Price, age 20, of Mt. Carmel for Illegal Consumption of Alcohol by Minor and Possession of Alcohol by Minor. Officers also arrested Evan D. Isaac, age 22, of Mt. Carmel for Driving Under the Influence and Sell/Gift/Delivery of Alcohol to a Minor along with Autumn M. Keepes, age 20, of Mt. Carmel for Illegal Consumption of Alcohol by Minor as a result of this incident.  Before the arrest, police were called to a residence in the 200 block of East 9th Street regarding an alleged dispute.  Once on scene police learned that the dispute occurred between Price and another male subject.  The other individual left the scene but the officers found that Price was intoxicated and in possession of alcohol.  During this time the other involved party, Evan Isaac drove past the scene.  The arresting officer caught up to Isaac and conducted a traffic stop on Isaac’s white Chevrolet in the 300 block of Pear Street.  While the officers continued to investigate the dispute allegation, they found evidence suggesting Isaac and his passenger, Autumn Keepes, were intoxicated.  After it was determined that no charges would occur from the dispute, they requested Isaac submit to a roadside sobriety check which he agreed to do.  During the check, officers found several clues to indicate impairment, resulting in Isaac’s arrest.  The officer also confirmed his suspicion as to Keepes being intoxicated resulting in her arrest.  Isaac was processed for DUI and then transported to the Wabash County Jail, along with Keepes and Price. All three individuals were later released on Notices to Appear.
