A 30-year-old rural Kell man has been arrested by Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies on two counts of criminal damage to property, a single count of aggravated assault to a police officer, and on an outstanding Marion County misdemeanor warrant.
Sheriff’s Department reports indicate Joshua Wesselman of Foxville Road called from a home in the 5000 block of State Route 161 Extension to tell them he was wanted on a warrant. When a deputy arrived Wesselman was allegedly banging on the door of the residence. He then reportedly bent over and picked up a brick and went into a fighting stance. The deputy was eventually able to get Wesselman to put down the brick and he was taken into custody.
Department reports indicate the criminal damage complaint stems from an incident at the same home in October.
Four others were taken to the Marion County Jail on outstanding warrants.
- 23-year-old Romy McAlexander of Dover Street in Centralia was arrested by Centralia Police on an outstanding Marion County felony warrant to revoke his probation on a conviction for possession of meth precursors. Bond is set at $5,000.
- 26-year-old Jarrod Jolliff of Johnson Street in Centralia was arrested by Centralia Police on a Marion County felony failure to appear warrant on a pending possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia case. Bond was also set at $5,000.
- 45-year-old Ernest Speagle of Gompers Street in Wamac remains in jail after being arrested by sheriff’s deputies on a petition to revoke his probation on a Marion County misdemeanor domestic battery conviction. Bond is set at $3,000.
- 23-year-old Joshua Beck of Cisne was arrested by Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies on an outstanding Wayne County felony warrant. He was given a notice to appear in court.
