CHARLESTON, Ill. (WCIA) — A local man from Charleston, already entangled in multiple legal battles, found himself in further trouble after authorities discovered him carrying brass knuckles, a weapon prohibited for him as a convicted felon.
The Charleston Police Department reported that 25-year-old Chase Galbreath had previously been legally barred from contacting a specific woman. However, on January 12, officers allegedly observed him in her company. Upon approaching Galbreath, they confirmed the existing no-contact order.
“Galbreath was arrested without any resistance,” stated police officials. “During a subsequent search, officers found brass knuckles on him, violating the law due to his felon status.”
