UPDATED @ 10:18 AM MONDAY
UPDATED @ 7:44 PM – 3:54 PM Time dispatched – From what RSN understands at this time; a male subject was getting his haircut in Wiregrass Commons Mall, just outside Dillard’s. Two or three male subjects came into the mall with a bag. One of the subjects is alleged to have told the person getting a hair cut they were going to kill him when he left the barbershop, and they walked back into the middle of the mall. They are alleged to have pulled a weapon ( the two or three in the middle of the mall ), at which time the one getting his haircuit pulled a weapon. Unknown which shot first, but the one or one’s in the middle of the mall pulled a pistol/rifle. The one getting a haircut shot the ones in the middle of the mall who said they were going to kill him, striking one on the head. The others fled. The one getting a haircut unloaded ( by shooting ) his weapon and fled to the bathroom. Houston County Sheriff Lt. Bobby Hopkins was working off duty in Dillards, heard the gunfire and ran TOWARDS the gunfire finding the one in the middle of the mall. As other officers arrived they found the person who was getting his haircut hiding in the bathroom. The only person shot was transported to the hospital. was conscious when left but coded later and went to surgery. Sources within Dothan Police and Pike County Sheriff Department have confirmed the person shot ( one shot in the middle of the mall ) is the suspect that Pike County Sheriff Department has been looking for as the suspect in the murder recently in Pike County of a Dothan man. Dothan Police is investigating and been in contact with Pike County Sheriff Department. Multiple agencies assisted Dothan Police, such as Houston County Sheriff Department, ALEA Troopers, Kinsey Police Department, and Ashford Police Department in shutting down the entrances/exits while the mall was searched for people hiding and/or suspects.

And the Dothan 911 dispatchers did an outstanding job!!!
DOTHAN: 04:30 AM Dothan 911 dispatched a burglary in progress on Riveredge Parkway in Dothan. Riveredge Parkway runs off John D. Odom Road and is in a horshoe loop with a south and north entrance off John D. Odom Road.
Within 1 minute or so of dispatch, at 4:30 AM in the morning, a Dothan Police Patrol Officer was on Riveredge Parkway and had entered from the south entrance. As the Dothan Police Patrol Officer approached the residence the officer observed a white Toyota Camry leaving the driveway. The officer followed the vehicle while other officers were seconds behind and went to the residence. The Dothan Police Patrol Officer made a traffic stop of the suspect vehicle and it stopped without incident.
Dothan Police Patrol that went to the residence reported what “appeared” to be pry marks on the garage door. The officers checked the residence for additional suspects. There were multiple officers on the scene and by 5:00 AM most returned to service other than the primary officer. A wrecker was called for the suspect vehicle.
At this time it is unknown if a burglary attempt actually took place. What we do know is (1) Dothan Police, at 4:30 AM were on the scene within like 1 minute (2) observed the suspect vehicle leaving the place of occurence (3) Dothan Police Patrol safely stopped the suspect vehicle on Riveredge Parkway (4) within minutes of the call hitting 911 other officers were at the place of occurence (5) the suspect vehicle was towed from the scene.
So when you question the preventive patrol and working of the Dothan Police Department, this is an example of the promptness that a officer was on the scene in the far north area of Dothan within 1 minute of dispatch at 4:30 AM in the morning.
When we find out the final outcome, which might be Monday morning, we will update.

REHOBETH: There is nothing like seeing your children set goals, and work towards those goals. And that has surely been the factor for Lucas and Kimberly Trotter in their son’s quest on bass fishing.
Dad, Lucas, taught them fishing as they frew up. While Lucas fished some tournaments, the bug hit both Colton and Easton who have worked hard and long on their goals of bass fishing.
Parents, Lucas and Kimberly Trotter, divide and conquer. One goes with one son on tournaments and the other parent with the other son.
Easton and Colton have worked together and learned from each other. And Colton loves spending time with his younger brother and fishing. Several months ago I spoke with Colton who was navigating the boat for Easton in a tournament and Colton could not fish. A difficult task for him!
Easton is 13 years of age, in the 8th grade at Rehobeth High School. He is a member of the Rehobeth Bass Fishing Club. Today, Easton and his fishing partner fished at Lake Jordan in a tournament. Easton and his partner finished 2nd place. Easton and his partner are leading AOY for the Wiregrass Student Angler Trail ( Juniors ).
These young men, as well as other members of the Rehobeth Bass Club, have worked relentless for their bass fishing skills. And both Lucas and Kimberly say “nothing better than seeing your kids dreams come true”. And both parents devote their time and energies to going with them on their tournaments, making sure they are safe.
HATS OFF to both of these young men, their parents and Houston County Schools, namely Rehobeth, for their full support of the bass teams.
