An investigation continues into the arrest of Brazil Fire Chief John Bennett from earlier this month. 
According to police, a call came into Clay County 911 Emergency Dispatch pertaining to a single vehicle accident near the intersection of Lambert and Illinois streets. Upon arrival, officers located a vehicle that struck a parked vehicle and a male walking away from the scene. 
When responding Brazil Police officers realized the man walking away was Bennett, a request was made to the Clay County Sheriff's Office to take over the investigation. 

Bennett, 49, of Brazil, was booked into the Clay County Jail on a Level C Misdemeanor charge of Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated. Bennett is no longer listed as an inmate in the jail and he is slated to appear in court Jan. 24 for formal charging.
