MARION COUNTY — Bond was set at half-a-million dollars Monday in Marion County Court for a 61-year-old Centralia man charged with multiple felonies in connection with a September shooting and home invasion.

Roger Carter was charged Monday with four Class X felonies for home invasion, armed violence and aggravated battery, along with lesser felonies for aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated battery and criminal trespass.

According to police, on September 24, Carter went to a home in the 300 block of North Hickory in Centralia looking for 26-year-old Anthony Hernandez who had earlier been arrested for possession of stolen property and burglary to Carter’s property.

While at the home, Carter allegedly struck Hernandez’s mother in the head with a gun and shot Hernandez in the left hip.

Hernandez didn’t report being shot at the time and apparently had no treatment for the wound.   Later he reportedly showed police where the gunshot had reportedly entered his hip and exited from his buttocks.

Police had been looking for Carter and on Saturday he went to the Centralia Police Department where he allegedly admitted going to the Hernandez home.

Carter is next scheduled to appear in court November 29 for a preliminary hearing and a first appearance with his court-appointed attorney.
