MURPHYSBORO, Ill. (WJPF) – A Marion man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison on a weapons charge.
Bobby Barnes, 25, pleaded guilty to a single charge of aggravated discharge of a firearm.
Jackson County State’s Attorney Joe Cervantez said the charge stems from a December 2021 incident in Carbondale in which Barnes fired seven shots at a vehicle near the intersection of Main Street and Cedarview. Police found Barnes shortly thereafter hiding in Pyles Fork Creek.
