Please click to enlarge; Campbell doesn't have a photograph for his registry.
WHITE CO., Ill. - A sex offender from Marion was the subject of a call to Carmi police last week during a late-night incident that got a juvenile arrested for Disorderly Conduct.
The action went down at just before 10:30 p.m. Thursday, May 23, when a disturbance at Main Cross Apartments on 225 Main Cross was brought to the attention of Carmi PD.
Police were told that there were two juveniles allegedly riding around with a convicted sex predator from Marion, Richard J. Campbell. Campbell, 24, was convicted five years ago in Williamson County on a Child Porn count, although as you can see in the hotlink, he's had a number of other run-ins with the law as it pertains to sex offenses.
The parents of the juveniles, police reports show, were trying to locate the kids (ages/genders not available, although one, you will see, was a female) when they walked to the Main Cross Apartments. They were apparently found, but one of the juveniles refused to go home and was screaming.
Said screaming woke up residents, who signed a complaint for Disorderly Conduct. And when officers attempted to escort the juvenile to the vehicle, she pulled away and was additionally charged with Resisting Arrest.
Campbell, on the other hand, was nowhere to be found. It's unclear whether police are looking for him, nor if he's to face any charges. What he was doing in Carmi all the way over from Marion remains unclear. If there's an update, we'll post; be watching.
SALINE CO., Ill. - A four-vehicle crash sent a Raleigh man to the hospital and got an Elizabethtown man cited this afternoon on Illinois Route 34 in Saline County.
Illinois State Police in District 19 Carmi responded to the crash which occurred today (Tuesday, May 28) at 3:45 p.m.
According to the preliminary traffic crash investigation, a 2017 Freightliner garbage hauler being driven by Rodney E. Spivey of Elizabethtown was traveling north on 34.
A 2009 Honda Accord being driven by Kyle G. Schwarz of Harrisburg and a 2006 International truck/tractor being driven by David L. Mitchell of Raleigh were stopped northbound behind a 1999 Freightliner truck/tractor being driven by Clint D. Breiner of Damiansville on 34. Breiner's Freightliner was stopped waiting to turn onto Mount Moriah Road.
Spivey, in the 2017 Freightliner, stated his brakes failed and he was unable to stop. Spivey's Freightliner then struck Mitchell's International in the rear end. This set off a chain reaction causing Mitchell's International to strike the rear end of Schwarz' Honda. The Honda then struck the rear end of Breiner's Freightliner.
Mitchell was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries. Spivey was cited for Failing to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident.
Route 34 was closed for approximately 3 hours.
ISP District 19 was assisted at the crash scene by Saline County EMS, Saline County Sheriff’s Department, IDOT, Rick's Towing (Mt. Vernon and Fairfield) and Jones Towing (Eldorado).
MARION, Ill. - Marion Police officers probably got a little frustrated being called to two incidents, on two subsequent days, but involving the same chick and the same charge.

This crash happened on the Gallatin side yesterday (Wednesday, May 29) at 5:45 p.m.
Illinois State Police advise that Carole Steele, 27 of New Haven, driving a maroon 1990 Chevy S10, was attempting to make a left turn onto 141 from Vine Street (ostensibly at New Haven, although that's not made clear in reports).
A blue 2017 Harley Davidson motorcycle being operated by Christopher Fields, 44, with passenger Renata Fields, 43, both of Norris City, was traveling eastbound on 141. ISP said Steele failed to see the motorcycle, and the bike struck the rear driver side of the S10.
Both Fields were transported to an out-of-state hospital for treatment. Steele was cited for Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident.
ISP District 19 was assisted at the crash scene by the Gallatin County Sheriff's Department, Ridgway Police Department, Gallatin County EMS, Air Evac 138, Omaha Fire Department, Jones Towing, and Hoskins Towing.

CARMI— Carmi lawmen have been busy the past several days with Police Chief Jason Carter’s latest report highlighting events from Friday, May 31 to Monday, June 3 beginning with the apprehension of a convicted child pornographer.
Chief Carter’s report begins May 31, at 9:37 a.m. when local lawmen responded to a report of a single vehicle accident at 413 North First St., Carmi.
Upon arrival officers noted that a vehicle had struck a tree and a red-headed individual, later determined to be the operator of the vehicle what it struck said tree, was still seated in the driver’s seat behind the air bags, which deployed as a result of the sudden introduction of the front end of the vehicle to the tree.
‘Red’ was identified as 24-year-old Richard J. Campbell II, of Marion.
Junior’s license indicated that he resides at 709 North Garfield St., in Marion, and is a white male, 5’2”, 130 lbs., with green eyes.
Lawmen noted that Mr. Campbell was emanating a strong odor and admitted that he was ‘under the influence.’
Mr. Campbell was transported from the scene to Hamilton Memorial Hospital where he was treated for his injuries.
Upon his release he was placed under arrest, charged with Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident and transported to the city/ county jail.
There was no indication in the report as to the status of the two individuals who were passengers in Campbell’s vehicle.
Campbell was released from police custody later that same day after he posted a $300 cash bond.
How long that release actually lasted is unclear because, Williamson County court records indicate that Campbell was sentenced May 30, 2019, the day before his Carmi arrest, to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections in a case in which he was charged with two counts of Reproduction of Child Pornography/ Victim Under the Age of 13 and two counts of Possession of Child Pornography/ Moving Depiction .
He was also ordered in that case to pay $1,780 in fines and fees, of which he has paid nothing.
His criminal history, as is the felon he is named after, contains several felony arrests including one from November 18, 2013 during which he was charged with Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse of a Victim Under 18 Years of Age/ Family Member.
That charge was later dismissed.
Nicholas A. Jennings
Drunk driver turns himself in
That afternoon, Friday, May 31, a Carmi man turned himself into authorities.
Details filed in the case indicate that at 3:31 p.m. Nicholas A. Jennings, a 34-year-old, white make, 5’10” tall, 160 lbs., with brown hair and eyes, of 809 North Seventh St., Carmi, walked into the lobby of the city police department and turned himself in on an active warrant out of White County for Failure to Appear for a scheduled court date.
Jennings’ criminal history includes an arrest July 31, 2014 during which he was charged with Maintaining a Place for Illegal Drug Activity, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.
He was convicted December 18, 2014 on that charge and sentenced to court supervision for two years, ordered to undergo treatment and to attend a special facility [also known as some kind of rehab] and ordered to pay $3,186 in fines and fees, of which he still owes $1,586.
In that same case a single count of Domestic Battery Causing Bodily Harm was dismissed.
In August of 2018 Jennings was convicted of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and Domestic Battery Causing Bodily Harm and sentenced to conditional discharge for two years, to attend alcohol treatment and to pay $3,700 in fines and fees of which he still owes $3,623.
In his most recent case, Jennings was released from police custody later that same day after posting a $500 cash bond.
Meth felon putting around without a license
The next day, Saturday, June 1, Jennifer L. Adcock, 36, of 312 West Robinson St., Carmi, a white female with brown hair, blue eyes, coming in at 5’5” and 235 lbs. was taken into custody at 8:38 a.m. and charged with Driving While License Suspended.
The two other folks in the vehicle with her when she was stopped were not detained.
No stranger to taking her meals behind bars, Ms. Adcock was arrested December 15, 2017 and charged with Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine and Unlawful Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
Convicted in January 2018 on the gun and drug charges, she was sentenced to the Illinois Department of Corrections for two years and ordered to pay $487 in fines and fees, of which she has only paid $50.
In her latest case, Ms. Adcock was released from police custody that same day after posting $150 cash bond.

WEST FRANKFORT, Ill. - A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging Jonathan Wade Bohn, 43, of West Frankfort, Illinois, in the October 2014 mailing of two threatening letters to officials in Franklin County, Illinois.
The indictment alleges that Bohn was incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Center in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, when he sent a letter threatening to kill certain Franklin County law enforcement officers and officials.
Two weeks later, Bohn allegedly sent another threatening letter, this time to the Franklin County clerk of court, claiming there was a bomb inside a Franklin County school that would detonate the following day. This second letter caused the closing of nine public schools, affecting over 6,400 students.
Mailing a threatening communication carries a maximum possible sentence of 5 years imprisonment. Threatening to use an explosive device is punishable by as much as 10 years in prison. If convicted, Bohn also faces a fine of up to $250,000 and 3 years of supervised release on each count.
According to the Bureau of Prisons website, Bohn is now being housed at a high-security facility in Florida and is currently scheduled for release in August 2022.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI and the Benton, Illinois Police Department. The case is being prosecuted in the Southern District of Illinois by Assistant United States Attorney Ranley R. Killian.

MARION, Ill. - A press release from the Marion Police Department has outlined an incident that occurred last night in town.
Authorities say that last night (Sunday, June 23) approximately 8:14 p.m., Marion PD Officers responded to a 911 shots-fired call in the 2600 block of Ingersoll Lane.
Upon arriving on scene, MPD Officers observed a male, later identified as Lucas K. Johnson, 40, on or near the front porch of his property holding what appeared to be a shotgun.
Following several attempts to get Johnson to drop the weapon, an MPD Officer fired a service weapon at, and striking, Johnson.
Johnson was taken into custody and transported to the Heartland Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

PERRY CO., Ill. - The man convicted of gouging out the eyes of a man he was attacking last year is going to have a long time to think about how to get his temper under control.
Allen Joseph Fisher, 52 of Swanwick, is the guy in Perry County who last year in April, reportedly chased down another man, Robert Pfister, 47, of Nashville in Washington County, and, driving him off the road, attacked him in the roadside ditch and gouged the man's eyes out with his fingers/thumbs. There was no indication as to why such a horrific attack was perpetrated, other than Fisher has a really bad temper and little self-control; reports indicate that Fisher was "mad that Pfister was driving down his street."
The attack left Pfister blind. Four months ago, Fisher was found guilty during a jury trial of Aggravated Battery Causing Great Bodily Harm Involving Torture, and Intimidation.
On Thursday, June 27, Judge James Campanella sentenced Fisher to 35 years in prison, with Campanella openly opining that he would've liked to have given Fisher more time (apparently he maxed out the statutory sentence.)
