On 9/03/24, Mt. Carmel Police arrested Alicia M. Swift, age 40 and Russell D. Singer, age 44, both of Mt. Carmel for Domestic Battery following a domestic dispute at the Shamrock Motel.  Officers responded to the scene and heard yelling coming from one of the rooms.  Upon entry into the room, the officer observed Singer holding Swift on the floor pinning her arms on the floor.  Both subjects were ordered apart and detained pending further investigation.  Their investigation into the matter provided evidence that Swift had come to his motel room, upset with Singer.  During the process, Swift damaged the room and struck Singer with a can of ravioli as well as her fists, resulting in a laceration to his forehead.  Evidence also indicated that Singer had attacked Swift by choking her several times, resulting in redness around her neck area.  Both subjects were placed under arrest and transported to the Wabash County Jail where they were processed and held pending a pre-trial release determination.  MCPD was assisted by the Wabash County Sheriff’s Office.
