Saturday Incident On River Road Results In Arrest Of Mt. Carmel Man

On 7/06/24, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Breck G. Garrett, age 58, of Mt. Carmel for Aggravated Intimidation of a Peace Officer, Aggravated Assault, and Resisting/Obstructing a Peace Officer following a dispute in the 800 block of Hydraulic Ave (River Road).  Police were called to the scene by a subject at a river camp who reported Garrett came across the road to his camp, armed with a shovel, threatening him with bodily harm.  The alleged victim called the police and, upon arrival, the officer attempted to detain Garrett.  Garrett resisted and attempted to pull away from the officer.  Garrett then began making verbal threats to the officer about wanting to kill him.  Garrett was eventually secured in handcuffs, with the shovel being recovered as evidence nearby.  Garrett was transported to the Wabash County Jail where he was charged accordingly and held pending a pre-trial detention determination by the court.
