Three People Arrested Following Investigation/Search Warrant In Kincaid

Three people have been arrested following a series of arrests on Wednesday evening in Kincaid.  41-year-old Floyd Garrison of Raymond and Kincaid, 45-year-old Kassandra Garrison of Raymond and Kincaid, and 36-year-old Johnnie Katcher of Jeiseyville were all arrested following an investigation for illegal narcotics in Jeiseyville.  Kincaid Police Chief DJ Mathon contacted States Attorney Wes Poggenpohl for a search warrant following credible intelligence.

 

According to police, one of the subjects connected to the residence was on parole and was a suspect in some catalytic converter thefts in Chatham and Auburn.  After a pursuit and foot chase, Floyd Garrison was arrested.  He says it was of the utmost importance to get him off the street.  While they were trying to tackle Garrison, Taylorville Police Chief Dwayne Wheeler says that they tased the subject but it didn’t do anything, so Chief Wheeler had to jump on his back feeling the taser himself. He says he’s alright, but is happy that the subject is in custody.   

 

During the chase of Floyd Garrison, police say Garrison’s car smashed through a couple of fences before hitting a garage. Garrison almost struck a police officer to get away and he was charged with meth delivery of 5-15 grams, aggravated fleeing and eluding, assault on a peace officer, almost running over a police officer, and possession of meth with intent to deliver.

 

Kassandra Garrison was charged with possession of meth and Johnnie Katcher was charged with possession of meth and possession of a controlled substance.  Taylorville Police Chief Dwayne Wheeler says he is proud of his team and the Community Action Team for these arrests. 

 

Floyd Garrison appeared in Christian County Court Thursday morning.  A preliminary hearing was set for November 28th and the bond was set at $175,000 with 10% to apply. Kassandra Garrison was given a $5,000 bond.  A second chance bond hearing was set for November 7th and a Pretrial hearing was set for December 15th. Katcher’s bond was set at $20,000.  The first appearance for Katcher was set for December 15th.
