OZARK – DALE COUNTY: 4:42 PM. Ozark – Dale County 911 performed exceptionally well in a very active afternoon. The staff managed callers to 911 and rapid activity between the Ozark – Dale County 911 Center, Ozark Police Department, Dale County Sheriff Department and Ozark Fire – Rescue.
It appears to have began at 4:42 PM with an emergency call to 409 Dixie Drive Drive in Ozark – male subject stabbed in the side.
Moments later Ozark Police Patrol was on the scene with multiple subjects on the scene. Ozark – Dale County 911 then merged Ozark Police and Dale County Sheriff units together on one channel where everyone was talking together thus allowing all responders to know first hand what was going on.
At 4:45 PM, 2149 S. Highway 231 at Ozark Shell Station, a stabbing victim was at this location.
Ozark Police Patrol then reported possible stab victim and possible gunshot victim, but the location of the gunshot victim was unknown.
A suspect vehicle description was then broadcast. The description was a silver Camry last seen traveling towards WalMart. Further information was the vehicle was occupied ( name known ), possibly had the gunshot wound and occupied by one other person.
Dale County Sheriff Mason Bynum was at 408 Dixie Drive in Ozark and was reported to have one suspect, at gunpoint.
Ozark Police Patrol then reported one person detained.
5:15 PM Ozark – Dale County 911 reported at 289 Dixie Drive, gunshot wound victim, wound to the hip. Ozark Police Patrol on the scene and requested Ozark Fire – Rescue.
RSN has attempted to contact authorities for additional information but have not made contact. RSN feels they have been busy and no time to call.
Heard Ozark EMS transporting a person from Ozark to a Dothan hospital earlier. Do not know if from these chain of events or not.
This happened in the City of Ozark so I assume Criminal Investigation Division from Ozark Police Department is in charge of the investigation. They are assisted by Dale County Sheriff Department.
