(CARLYLE, IL) — A 37-year-old Albers man has been formally charged in Clinton County Court with multiple felonies, including two counts attempted First Degree Murder. Bail has been set at $750,000 for Gary T. Walthes , who is charged with two Class X felony counts of attempted First Degree Murder, Class X armed violence, Class 1 felony aggravated battery with the discharge of a firearm, Class 3 felony aggravated battery to a peace officer, Class 3 felony production of between 20 and 50 cannabis plants, Class 2 felony possession or use of a firearm by a felon, misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia and two counts misdemeanor child endangerment. Clinton County State’s Attorney John Hudspeth has not returned multiple calls and messages left with his office Monday seeking comment about the Walthes case. However, reports indicate Walthes had a brief standoff Friday morning with Clinton County Sheriff’s deputies, who allegedly found a marijuana growing operation inside his home, along with weapons and drug paraphernalia. Deputies had responded to the home Friday morning to execute a search warrant when Walthes reportedly displayed a weapon. He was taken into custody without further incident. Walthes was charged in court Friday with multiple conservation violations, including multiple deer hunting permit violations. He was booked into the Clinton County Jail that same day for alleged attempted murder and other charges. He was also wanted on an outstanding St. Clair County arrest warrant. He is next due in court March 30, and told Judge Stan Brandemeyer Monday that he intends to hire a private attorney to represent him. If Walthes is able to post $75,000 cash bond, special conditions of his release would be electronic home confinement and to have no contact with his alleged victim a Clinton County Sheriff’s deputy, or the deputy’s family.
