Illinois: Judge found probable cause for Kerry Talburt's to continue. Talburt is accused of letting his Pit Bull maul a man in July

ILLINOIS -- Probable cause was found Tuesday in Adams County Circuit Court against a Quincy man accused of letting his pit bull bite another man in July.

Judge Debra Wellborn ruled there was enough evidence for the case against Kerry D. Talburt II to move forward. He is set to appear for arraignment Sept. 19.


Talburt, 21, faces charges of home invasion, aggravated battery, reckless conduct, criminal trespass of a residence and two counts of obstructing justice.

Charging documents say Talburt put his thumb in one of the other man's eyes and allowed his pit bull to bite him. They also allege he gave false information to police.

The Quincy Police Department said officers were called to 1005 Jersey on July 8 on a report of a 30-year-old who was bitten in the face by a dog. Police said Talburt had gotten into an altercation with his downstairs neighbor, and Talburt's dog got loose and bit the man in the face.

Talburt faces six to 30 years in prison if convicted of the home invasion charge, a Class X felony. He also faces the possibility of consecutive sentences if convicted of other charges.

Talburt posted $2,000 bond in the case but is being held in the Adams County Jail in other cases.

Task force finds several pounds of marijuana in Quincy home
Jul 26, 2016

QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) - Police arrested three people Monday night just before uncovering several pounds of marijuana in a Quincy home.

It started when officers pulled over a vehicle over near 8th and Madison streets as part of a drug investigation.

West Central Illinois Task Force M/Sgt. Patrick Frazier says task force members and sheriff's deputies arrested the 17-year-old driver and Kerry D. Talburt II, 20, for unlawful possession of cannabis.


While they were at the scene, Frazier says Zana S. Owsley, 37, who is related to one of them, came up to the officers and they arrested her for a failure to appear warrant. Frazier says Owsley also had drugs on her.

After the arrests, officers went to search Talburt's home, at 1005-1/2 Jersey Street, where Frazier says they found cannabis, cannabis edibles and drug paraphernalia.

Frazier says Talburt faces charges for cannabis trafficking and unlawful possession of 2,000 to 5,000 grams of cannabis, which is roughly between four and 11 pounds.

The teen was released to a parent.

Releasing him to a parent probably wasn't a good idea since his daddy is a criminal, too:
