ALTON - A violent altercation at Roper’s Regal Beagle in Godfrey last month has led to multiple felony charges against a man from Alton. Jason B. Carlie, 33, of Alton, was charged on Dec. 4, 2024 with two counts of aggravated battery, both Class 3 felonies. Court documents state that on Nov. 27, 2024, while at the Regal Beagle, Carlie allegedly struck an individual about the head and face, causing abrasions. He also reportedly bit another victim’s hand, “breaking the skin.” A petition was filed to deny Carlie’s pretrial release, describing him as the “aggressor in a bar fight.” “Defendant was identified as the aggressor in a bar fight,” the petition states. “During the scuffle, he struck a male victim about the face, and bit the hand of a female victim, breaking the skin.” At the time of this incident, Carlie was on electronic monitoring from another Madison County felony case filed earlier this year.
