DOTHAN: 09:00 AM Houston County Sheriff Deputy Berry went to make a traffic stop on an old blue Buick Park Avenue. The driver did not want to stop and took off with Deputy Berry in pursuit.
The driver should know the area when you run from the law. The driver took Hagler Road. This road runs off Hodgesville Road and is a dead end. As the driver went around the curve the hood flew off the car.
The driver reached the dead end, hung a left onto a dirt road/driveway. When he hit as far as he could go the driver bailed and ran on foot.
Houston County Sheriff Deputy Berry bailed out and the subject had a good head start. The car was running and appeared hot wired because no key in the ignition.
Multiple Houston County Sheriff Deputies responded, emergency, to include Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza. Houston County Sheriff K-9 track dogs are on the scene, the perimter is established and Deputies are going to start attempting to track.
Deputy Berry was investigating if the car was stolen.
A Dothan resident and his family got behind the forklift and lawnmowers near Harley Davidson of Dothan. They followed and called 911. dothan Police intercepted. The caller knew something was up driving a forklift at night on Dothan streets.
When subject was going down Woodland he llst one of the lawnmowers as he went over the speedbump.
DOTHAN: Apparently a Dothan Man felt he needed to hep Santa, or that Santa skipped him on delivery of two lawnmowers, so he was just trying to help!!!
Christmas night a Dothan man went to Lower’s, Hartford Highway and Ross Clark Circle. According to Dothan Police the man “stole” a forklift which he is alleged to have stole two riding lawnmowers. The man then drove the forklift, which had LOWE’S on the side, in the area of Selma Street School. He is reported to have dropped one of the lawnmowers. The man was encountered by Dothan Police Patrol Division. The first question, what are doing late at night on Christmas night driving a forklift with Lowe’s on the side on the streets of the City of Dothan.
My guess, he was Santa’s Elf and was helping Santa make deliveries !!!! LOL
The lawnmowers, reported to be valued an estimated of $ 5,000.00 each.
At this time RSN does not know the Elf’s name because Dothan Police docket reflects two on Theft – Vehicle Other.
