10:08 PM Ambulance Rolling To Easterling Prison In Clio

CLIO:     10:08 PM      EMS is rolling from ECHO to CLio, 200 Wallace Drive. At this address is Easterling Prison.

Reports of a 34 year old  not breathing, unresponsive, due to a drug overdose.

The Alabama Department of Corrections investigate incidents in prison themselves. If the person dies they use the medical examineers paid by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.

Apparently, there are more drugs in the Alabama Prison System then on the streets. Just like all liquor comes from the State of Alabama to promote death and destruction on the streets from driving drunk,

BOLO Be On Look Out – 1 Lady and 3 Men Missing


DOTHAN:     BOLO FOR 1 MISSING LADY AND THREE MISSING MEN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43XP6Xr7tVQ

For the first time since sometime in the 1990’s, 5 Dothan Commissioners were missing and the Dothan Commission Meeting had to be aborted.

Dothan Mayor Mark Saliba was present. Dothan Commissioner District 4 was present.

Dothan Commissioner District 6, David Crutchfiled has been appointed to some electric board. They had a meeting on Monday and Tuesday in Orange Beach, I think.

AWOL and not present, D1 Daniels, D2 Kirksey, D3 Bedwell and D5 Gnatt Pearce. Thier paychecks will probably be auto deposited so they do not have to appear to get their money for being AWOL. So do not worry!

I did not go, but probably all of what I refer to as the choir loft, the department heads, all appeared. And thay did, combined salaries, for all department heads and city staff present, and ready for a Dothan Commission Meeting probably, collectively, is close to a total of at least $ 2 million dollars worth of annuaual salaries.

All businesss is being passed until which time those elected decide to be present and do what they were elected to do – RAISE FEES, RAISE TAXES, SPEND $ 2.6 MILLION ON OFFICE FURNIUTURE. So they will be back in time to cost you more money.

FOOT NOTE ABOUT HOUSTON COUNTY COMMISSION CHAIRMAN BRANDON SHOUPE …   cameras has not revealed his vehicle parked to his $ 130,000.00 a year job, plus retirement and health benefits. And cameras have not revealed his vehicle at Tri-State Graphics, a business he has bought and is Vice President. Shoupe made a reel, after election, that he had a great staff at Houston County and at Tri-State Graphics that would allow him to split his time between elected Chairman and V.P. of Tri-State Graphics.

Texas just got a new Toyota Plant to employee 2,000 worker. Houston County got it’s 7th McDonalds, which hopefully we can not attract a visit from President Donald Trump!!!
