    A Mendon, Illinois man was arrested Wednesday night following a reported disturbance at a Mendon school board meeting at Unity High School.

    According to a news release from the Adams County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched at 8:17 p.m.

    They were told a man identified as Alex S. Felde, 30, had been removed from the school after becoming involved in a physical altercation.
