A 33-year-old Canton man is facing multiple charges following an incident in Woodstock early Saturday morning, November 7, with Champaign County Municipal Court setting his bond at $12,000.
According to court records, John McNutt was assigned a $12,000 cash or surety bond during his arraignment on Monday, November 9. An attorney was appointed to represent him, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for November 12 at 10 a.m.
According to the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were patrolling in the village of Woodstock around 3:36 a.m. when they heard what sounded like a vehicle spinning its tires in a gravel lot across from a local bar.
Deputies observed a silver Ford truck leaving the lot and followed it. The vehicle reportedly failed to use its turn signal while making two separate left turns, including at the intersection of West Bennett Street and Main Street.
McNutt was later arrested and charged with operating a vehicle under the influence, resisting arrest and assault on a peace officer.
He is scheduled to return to court for his preliminary hearing on November 12.
