On 9/01/25, Mt. Carmel police arrested Carl R. Raymond, age 64, of Clarksville, Tennessee, on an Edwards County Warrant for Failure to Appear, Possession of a Controlled Substance, and Possession of a Hypodermic Syringe following an investigation into a suspicious person walking on the railroad tracks near 3rd Street. During the investigation, the officer learned that Raymond was wanted out of Edwards County. Raymond was placed under arrest when officers then discovered a hypodermic syringe, loaded with an unknown substance, and a clear baggie with residue inside of it. Officers later learned the substance in the syringe was cocaine, as was the residue on the clear baggie. Raymond was transported to the Wabash County Jail, where he was charged and held pending extradition back to Edwards County.
