Original Arrest Release From MCPD:

On 3/18/23, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Monyck S. O’Bryant, age 25, of Mt. Carmel, for Possession of Methamphetamine, Driving While License Suspended, and a Richland County Illinois Warrant for Failure to Appear. The arresting officer stopped O’Bryant after she began flashing her headlights at the officer in what the officer took as a request for assistance. Upon making contact, the officer recognized O’Bryant and knew her to have a suspended license. O’Bryant admitted she flashed the lights while attempting to turn them on in an unfamiliar vehicle. Furthermore, O’Bryant returned with the above warrant resulting in her arrest. In doing so, the officer located a plastic baggie containing suspected methamphetamine, which a field test result later confirmed. O’Bryant was transported to the Wabash County Jail where she was charged accordingly and held pending a bond setting by a judge.
