Attempted Camp Point Home Invasion Results in Two Arrests

Two Adams County men are in jail on a variety of charges in connection with an incident in Camp Point Sunday night.

The Adams County Sheriff’s Office reports deputies were called to a residence in Camp Point just after 6:15 p.m. Sunday on a report of a person with a gun.

An initial investigation by deputies revealed that 20 year old Stephen Calhoun of Camp Point and 20 year old Shaun Smith of Clayton had been involved in a disturbance, allegedly brandishing guns while trying to enter the residence.

Calhoun and Smith left the scene on foot, but were taken into custody without incident a short time later.

Deputies believe that Calhoun, Smith and the victims were acquaintances.

Both Calhoun and Smith are charged with armed violence, mob action, aggravated assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

Calhoun is also charged with home invasion and battery.
