Adrienne Reid, the mother charged in connection with the disappearance of her 2-year-old daughter, has hired a well-known defense attorney who is now fighting to have her $1 million bond reduced.
Court records show attorney David Harrison filed paperwork notifying the court he will represent Reid. Within moments, he submitted a motion asking the judge to significantly lower her bond, calling the current amount “extraordinarily high.”
Harrison argued that the $1 million cash-only bond is excessive and effectively serves as punishment, despite what he describes as limited evidence against his client.
Reid, 33, is charged with false reporting to law enforcement after telling police her daughter, Genesis Reid, disappeared from their home on February 16. Despite an extensive search effort, the toddler has not been located. Authorities have not named Reid a suspect in her daughter’s disappearance.
However, Coffee County District Attorney James Tarbox asked District Judge Josh Wilson to set a $1 million cash-only bond, citing concerns that Reid could be a flight risk. The typical bond for a charge of false reporting would normally be no more than $15,000.
Harrison strongly disputes that Reid poses a threat to the community or is likely to flee. If the motion to reduce bond is denied in district court, he is expected to take the matter before a circuit judge.
“I’m tired of seeing people assuming this woman is guilty with all their social media posts,” Harrison said.
In addition to seeking bond reduction, Harrison has filed for a pretrial hearing that would require law enforcement to disclose certain aspects of their investigation. A hearing date has not yet been set.
The investigation into the disappearance of Genesis Reid remains ongoing. Authorities continue to ask anyone with credible information to contact law enforcement.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) has launched an additional investigation into an ongoing child exploitation case in Aliceville involving a local police officer and school employee.
According to ALEA, the agency’s State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force became involved after multiple school employees were arrested by Aliceville Police.
As a result of the investigation, 24-year-old Caminion Gary — identified as an Aliceville Police Department officer and an assistant basketball coach at a Pickens County school — was arrested by ALEA agents.
Gary is charged with:
Electronic solicitation of a child
Sexual abuse, first degree
Possession of child sexual abuse material
Transmitting obscene material
School employee having sexual contact with a student
Enticing a child to enter a vehicle
Gary was booked into the Pickens County Jail with no bond.
ALEA says the investigation remains active and ongoing. Anyone with information or who may have been impacted is urged to contact the SBI Crime Hotline at 1-800-392-8011. All tips will be handled confidentially.
Once complete, the case will be turned over to the Pickens County District Attorney’s Office
An investigation is underway after a medical helicopter crashed Sunday afternoon in Evergreen while en route to a local hospital.
According to Conecuh County Emergency Management Agency Director Larry Davis, the crash occurred around 3:15 p.m. as the pilot attempted to land near Evergreen Medical Center. For reasons still unknown, the helicopter went down next to a home at 303 South Main Street, just down from the hospital’s landing pad.
Three people were onboard at the time. Authorities confirmed there were no fatalities, but all three were transported by ambulance to an out-of-town hospital for evaluation.
Officials later confirmed that two medical crew members were injured — one listed in critical condition and the other stable at a hospital in Pensacola, Florida. There was no patient onboard during the crash.
Units with Evergreen Fire and Rescue responded to the scene. The nearby home was not damaged; however, one individual inside the residence was taken to a Montgomery hospital with reported cardiac concerns.
The National Transportation Safety Board has been notified and will lead the investigation. Federal aviation authorities are expected to remain on scene as they work to determine what caused the crash.
Evergreen Police have blocked off the area from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive to Evergreen Medical Center as the investigation continues. Officials reported minimal fuel spillage at the crash site.
