DOTHAN, Ala.) On Monday, July 6, 2026, at approximately 8:30 p.m., officers with the Dothan Police Department responded to a local hospital after two individuals arrived seeking treatment for gunshot-related injuries. One of the injured parties was a juvenile under the age of 18, and the other was an adult male. Both sustained non-life-threatening injuries to a hand.
The preliminary investigation revealed that several family members were involved in a verbal dispute inside a residence in the 700 block of Hutchins Street. The dispute escalated into a physical altercation. During the incident, the juvenile retrieved a handgun from another room within the residence and returned to the area where the altercation was occurring.
An adult family member who was not involved in the physical altercation observed the juvenile in possession of the handgun and attempted to intervene in an effort to prevent its use. During a struggle over the firearm, a single round was discharged, resulting in minor injuries to the hand of both the juvenile and the adult male.
As the investigation progressed, probable cause was established to obtain a search warrant for the residence. During the execution of the search warrant, investigators located numerous firearm magazines and various types of ammunition. No firearm was recovered from the residence.
Both individuals received treatment for their injuries and were later released from the hospital.
Due to the fact a weapon was involved, the juvenile was charged as an adult with one count of Assault Second Degree.

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,
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!!!
