MCLEANSBORO — A McLeansboro man wanted on a Hamilton County warrant is now facing new charges after McLeansboro Police were called for service in the 700 block of North Virginia Street shortly after 4 Monday afternoon.

According to McLeansboro Police Chief Nathan Taylor, after officers made contact with the caller, 37-year-old David J. Graves, it was determined Graves had a Hamilton County warrant for his arrest for harboring a runaway from an incident on July 7.

As officers were attempting to take Graves into custody, he resisted arrest. After being taken into custody, a small quantity of suspected methamphetamine was also located on Graves.

Graves was arrested for the warrant and on new charges for resisting arrest and possession of less than 5 grams of meth. Graves was taken to the White County Jail pending bond being set by a judge.

The McLeansboro Police Department was assisted by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office.
