BT. PRAIRIE MAN ARRESTED IN CARMI FOR OUTSTANDING WARRANT

A 19-year-old man from Burnt Prairie, Austin Carlson, was arrested by Carmi Police on Monday evening. Authorities apprehended him around 9:15 PM at the intersection of Oak and Conger. Carlson was wanted on a White County warrant stemming from a ticket issued in September of the previous year, which included charges for driving on a suspended license, exceeding the speed limit in a school zone, and failure to wear a seatbelt. After failing to appear in court, a warrant was issued for his arrest in January. He is currently held at the White County Jail, awaiting a court appearance.
