CENTRAL CITY (WMIX) – A 22-year-old Pinckneyville woman, who is facing murder charges in Perry County, was reportedly arrested Tuesday night in Central City for alleged illegal possession of a firearm.

Sophia Kelly was arrested for Alleged Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition without a FOID Card and Unlawful Use of Weapons.

She’s charged in Perry County with three counts first-degree murder in connection with the June 2022 death of her 3-month-old infant son.

The infant’s father, Logan Hutchings, was found not guilty last month accusing him of the same charges.

He was acquitted three days into a bench trial on the charges.

A prosecution motion to dismiss the charges in Kelly’s case is pending a motion hearing scheduled for May 1st in Perry County Court.

On Tuesday night, Kelly was a passenger in a car that reportedly ran a stop sign at North Elm and Charlotte in Central City, which resulted in a traffic stop.

The vehicle’s driver, 25-year-old Jake Gillmore of Mt. Vernon, was arrested for Alleged Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition without a FOID Card, Possession of a Weapon by a Felon, Possession of a Hypodermic Needle, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

A second passenger, 23-year-old Robert Gott of Centralia, was arrested for Possession of a Firearm and Ammunition without a FOID Card, Possession of a Weapon by a Felon, Possession of a Hypodermic Needle, and Possession of a Controlled Substance.

All three were transported to the Marion County Jail.
