KINCAID — The chief of police for the village of Kincaid was arrested Friday for official misconduct, Illinois State Police said, just days after the mayor was arrested on another matter.

Authorities allege that the chief, Richard S. Adams, 45, had been using his official position to have repairs of his residence completed by village employees on village time.

The Christian County state's attorney's office and the state appellate prosecutor's office filed charges against Adams, and an arrest warrant was obtained.

State police arrested Adams, and he was booked into the Christian County Jail in Taylorville on one count of official misconduct. He was released from the jail after posting bond, which had been set at $15,000, a jail spokesman said.

The investigation is ongoing, and additional charges are expected, state police said.

WICS Channel 20 reported last week that Adams was on administrative leave pending the outcome of a joint criminal investigation involving state police and the Christian County sheriff's office.

Earlier this week, Kincaid's mayor, Doug Thomas, was released on bond after spending a night in jail, the station reported. He appeared before a Christian County judge on charges of violating an emergency order of protection and drug possession.

Thomas, who has refused to resign, was arrested last week at work, according to the TV report, and while being processed at the jail, police allegedly found five different types of drugs on him in an unlabeled prescription bottle.

The protection-order violation alleged has to do with Thomas texting his ex-boyfriend.

“He's not supposed to communicate with the individual or have any contact with the individual, either in person or through texting, telephone communications, or anything like that,” Christian County Sheriff Bruce Kettelkamp told WICS. “And that's what he was doing.”

Kincaid, a village of about 1,500, is approximately 30 miles southeast of Springfield.
