A 37-year-old Carmi man was arrested early Friday morning by Wayne County Sheriff’s deputies on an outstanding warrant and now faces an additional weapons charge.
Cory J. Gregg of Carmi was taken into custody on a Wayne County warrant issued in connection with a petition to revoke his special 24-month probation sentence.
The probation stemmed from previous charges of possession of methamphetamine and unlawful use of a weapon. Gregg was originally charged with methamphetamine possession in December 2025.
According to authorities, deputies discovered evidence of a weapon on Gregg’s person following his arrest, resulting in a new preliminary charge of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon.
Gregg is being held in the Wayne County Jail pending a court appearance.
