COVINGTON COUNTY AL: On September 12, 2025, a traffic stop that lead to an arrest of a local in the early morning hours was reported to the Covington County Sheriff’s Office. After investigation, it was discovered that an officer with the Sheriff’s Office did not follow proper procedure and responded in a manner that does not represent the Sheriff’s Office, our law enforcement comrades’ and our community well. The matter is being investigated, with corrective action forthcoming.
As Sheriff, I take complaints with our office and employees very seriously and I welcome the public to communicate with us to ensure that our officers have a true servant’s heart. Most incidents can be handled with counseling and training. Our officers are human, but we are held to the highest standard. We will continue to offer our best.
Communication is the key. Facebook or messenger is not the way to report an issue to the Sheriff’s Office. These sources are not monitored constantly, and a complaint can be delayed or not taken at all. Contact the Sheriff’s office on Monday thru Friday, 8am – 5pm at (334) 428-2641 for non-emergency concerns. If the concern is urgent, please call (334) 427-4911 for our dispatch and a supervisor will contact you forthwith.

DOTHAN: On Tuesday, September 16, the registed voters of District 3 will go to the polls to vote for District 3 Associate Commissioner for the City of Dothan.
Incumbent Associate Commissioner Bradley Bedwell almost made it without a runoff. But he is being challenged by David Haight.
As RSN has looked into David Haight we have found some alarming items which makes RSN to be very blunt. First, if you do not stand for something you will fall for anything. And I have great concerns.
DAVID HAIGHT FACEBOOK: There are a lot of captions on pictures of politics on his facebook. The captions are those apparently made by David Haight. A drive through customer and fast food worker captioned “did she ever work a real job…or just a gubmit?” It is a male in the drive thru and female in the car. Working at fast food restaurant is a hard job, one where you work under extreme pressure, dealing with often times public that are not so nice. These employees learn quick how to work under pressure with customers with attitudes. And his comments show a lack of respect for common people.
And the below pictures are only a few of may posted in his FACEBOOK.
HOME OWNER’S ASSOCIATION: David Haight was on the home owner’s subdivision in the area he lives. At a recent home owner’s association meeting, while wearing his campain T-Shirt, David Haight made it clear no one was allowed to talk or comment but their home owner association dues were increasing. And the home owner’s had no say in the matter and no choice but to pay what a selected few had made the decision on. This angered many in the subdivision. Since being pointed out and exposed about this dictatorship style, David Haight attempted to get the fellow board members to re-consider and when that failed he resigned. But that does not undo what he did in the initial meeting. NO ONE allowed to talk but the “chosen ones” on the board and the residents who reside in the subdivision just had to pay what the board decided. When exposed and realized this truth was going to have a negative impact on him as a candidate Haight apparently attempted to do damage control. But that shows what he was doing to his neignbors, with that in mind, what will he do to the citizens of Dothan Alabama if elected as D-3 Associate Commissioner? This is very dangerous for the citizens of Dothan with someone with a record of not listening or allowing the people to speak.
This, the United States of America, just went through a terrible week. People’s voice needs to be heard. And Haight has shown he has no intentions to listen.
With that in mind, it is very important to re-elect D3 Bradley Bedwell as Associate Commissioner. And each person needs to exercise their vote which is at the Houston County Farm Center. A placed saved by D-3 Bradley Bedwell, D-4 John Ferguson and D-5 Gant Pearce.
DOTHAN: On Tuesday the registered voters of the City of Dothan in Districts 2,3 and 5 the voters will return to the polls and elect three public servants to serve for the next four years. Two of them, District 2 and 3 will be Associate Dothan Commissioners and one, District 5 will be the Dothan School Board.
DISTRICT 2 RSN endorses Phillip Kirksey, District 2 – Dothan Associate Commissioner. He knows public servanthood during his years as a law enforcement officer. He has the passion of service and RSN feels he will look at District 2 – but with a vision of Dothan as a whole. ELECT PHILLIP KIRKSEY on Tuesday.
DISTRICT 3 RSN endorses incumbent Bradley Bedwell, District 3 – Dothan Associate Commissioner. Bradley Bedwell ran for District 3 Associate Commissioner four years ago. He has kept his promises over the past four years and attempted to be attentive to the citizens of District 3 and the entire City of Dothan. Shortly after his election Houston County attempted to sell the Houston County Farm Center. Realizing the City of Dothan owned 15% of the Farm Center, Bedwell set off to protect the citizens of District 3. He and Associate Commissioners D4 John Ferguson and D5 Gant Pearce developed a well developed plan to save the Farm Center. This stopped the sudden sell of the Houston County Farm Center. Bedwell has not been afraid to vote NO on different issues if he did not feel it was right for the City of Dothan. He stands against raising taxes and firmly stands on the foundation, the Mayor and Associate Commissioners along with the City Manager are to manage the finances of the City of Dothan to stay within their means and provide quality services to the citizens of Dothan.
DISTRICT 5 ( UPDATED @ 10:55 PM ) Ashley Whitfield Davis, District 5 – Dothan School Board. The Dothan School Board has been in chaos for years. The members just refused to get along. Two of those, who had no children in the school system, did not seek re-election. In this campaign, comes down to two candidates. One has children attending the Dothan City Schools, which is Ashley Whitefield Davis, and the opponent does not. Opponent J.T. Carroll’s children are 3 and 1 year old and he saus will be attending Dothan CIty Schools when they reach age. RSN – I have nothing against Houston Academy, where J.T. Carroll graduated from, for I attended Houston Academy also. But if you are going to serve on the Dothan City Schools governing board, it just makes sense that your children attend Dothan City Schools. And J.T. Carroll says his will when of age. Ashley Davis has seevral children currently enrolled in Dothan City Schools. The citizens of Dothan are just ending tenures of the majority of the board not having any children attending Dothan City Schools. WIthout children attending you have no vested interest in the decisions made. Dothan has just hired a new Superintendent and I am hearing good things about him. He needs a School Board, with a vested interest, to work with him and make the Dothan City Schools the best it can be. Therefore we endorse Ashley Whitefield Davis for Dothan School Board District 5.
JACKSON COUNTY FL./ SEMINOLE COUNTY GA: VIA TEXT riCKEY 334-790-1729 we were notified there was a traffic accident between Malone Florida and Donalsonville Georgia this afternoon.
Reports to RSN the couple who lost their lives were on a motorcycle. There was a vehicle driving slow and the motorcycle went to pass the vehicle which then the vehicle, the car not motorcycle, made a sudden left turn into the motorcycle.
Reports are the driver of the vehicle was possibly under the influence and allegations the driver used no blinker.
Both were pronounced dead. Waiting on identifying the deceased until we can get confirmation next of kin has been notified.
If in Florida, Florida Highway Patrol will be in charge of the accident investigation and if in Georgia, Georgia Bureau of Investigation will be in charge of the investigation.
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.
