Man arrested for allegedly trying to meet a teenager; running through yards screaming
HANNA CITY, Ill. (WMBD) — A man was arrested after running through yards yelling someone was trying to kill him, after allegedly trying to go camping with a 15-year-old boy. The Peoria County Sheriff's Office was called at 6 p.m., May 24, to the area of Lakeshore Drive in Hanna City on reports of the man yelling while running through yards, said Sheriff Chris Watkins. When deputies arrived, they found a backpack with an Oklahoma ID belonging to Rusty Barrilleaux, 39, who had allegedly been the man running through yards earlier. Deputies then learned that Barrileaux had allegedly been talking in a 'sexual manner' to what he thought was the teenage boy on an online dating app and was allegedly meeting up with him to go camping, Watkins said. According to the sheriff, when Barrilleaux allegedly went to meet up with the boy, an adult confronted him, and he ran away. The next day, Sunday, May 25, deputies were called again to a wooded area near Murphy Road and Carol Court to reports of smoke coming from the woods, he said. Police dogs were brought to the area and, a short time later, tracked and found Barrilleaux. Deputies also found a campsite they believe he set up. At the campsite, Watkins says, they found a laptop with conversations between what appeared to be Barrilleaux's account and what he may have believed was a juvenile. Barrilleaux allegedly admitted to detectives he was attempting to meet the boy. He was arrested and booked in the Peoria County Jail on charges of indecent solicitation of a minor, grooming, and distribution of harmful material to a minor. As of Monday morning, he is still being held in jail, according to court documents. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Our Lady of Lourdes Women's and Children's Hospital, Iberia Medical Center, Ochsner American Legion Hospital, Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center and Opelousas General Health System were named 'birth ready.' Brianne Barrilleaux, Our Lady of Lourdes Perinatal Educator, said they had to improve care for each phase of pregnancy to earn this designation. Close Thanks for signing up!

'We're also doing work around reducing maternal morbidity related to hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and also how timely and how appropriately are we treating those emergencies that occur. ' Those risks contributed to 82 pregnancy-related deaths in Louisiana in 2020, with the top causes being cardiomyopathy, accidental overdose, infection and cardiovascular conditions. The statewide preterm birth grade is an F, with poor outcomes attributed to socioeconomic determinants and patients' physical health. 'I want moms to know that they are in safe hands when they come to deliver at our facility, that our nurses are prepared to take care of them using the safest and most up to date care possible,' Barrilleaux said. 'I want them to know that our hospital is committed to providing the safest care for them and their baby.' The criteria to receive the Louisiana Birth Ready Designation is focused on collaborative learning, health disparity and patient partnerships, policies and procedures, structures and education and outcomes and process measures.
