SALEM, ILL.—Bond has been set at $10,000 for a 25-year-old Salem man who has been charged with aggravated battery to a police officer and criminal damage to property.

Jacob Erwin is accused of knocking the mug shot camera out of the hands of a correctional officer as he was booking Erwin in on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol. The sheriff’s department reported the camera fell the floor and had to be replaced.

Erwin was brought to the jail by Marion County sheriff’s deputies after he was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence, improper lane usage and driving an uninsured vehicle.

In court Friday morning, Erwin indicated he would hire his own attorney. His first appearance with an attorney is set for Jan. 11.

Erwin was one of the three men charged in connection to the brutal beating of a Prairie du Chien area restaurant owner in October of 2015. He was found guilty of amended charges in Crawford County Circuit Court for that case. Erwin was sentenced in March 2016 to 168 days in jail, which he had already served at the time of his sentencing.
