A Carmi man is behind bars on $25,000 bail following his arrest late Wednesday night. Carmi Police initiated a traffic stop just after 10pm at Main and Commerce and subsequently arrested 30 year old Jordan Prater of Schumaker Street on a White County warrant. The affidavit filed shows the warrant was issued Tuesday. Prater is facing 5 counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault. The allegations suggest Prater intentionally committed acts of sexual penetration on juvenile family members under the age of 13. The alleged offenses occurred beginning in November of 2011 and happened as recently as December of 2020. Online court records don’t yet indicate when Prater is due in White County court.
