11:14 AM Federal Judge Warns State Farm Over ‘Risky Removal’ as Alabama Homeowners Press Roof-Claim Cases

DOTHAN – HOUSTON COUNTY:   Dothan law firm Buntin, Etheredge and Fowler have taken on the huge corporate, State Farm Insurance.

Dusty Fowler and Steve Etheredge have taken on State Farm in more than 50 homeowners who allege State Farm and local agents failed to provide wind-and hail coverage they believed they were buying. A federal judge has now returned the case to state court ( Houston County Circuit Court ) and CAUTIONED State Farm in repeating a litigation strategy that has already failed.

State Farm has not only been cautioned by a United States Federal Judge, they have also been called out by the Donald Trump, as President of the United States of America.

9:38 PM Correcting Fake News From WTVY

HOUSTON COUNTY:     Amy Johnson Granberry DID NOT do as WTVY Ken Curtis wrote in his article.

Granberry had legal access to the CAD computer system, which is owned by the City of Dothan – Houston County Communications District Board.  A former Dothan Fireman, Jesse Taylor, was helping Dothan – Houston County Emergency Management with a program he had written when he was with Dothan Fire Department,. He was acting as a contract employee of which Houston County Commission Chairman Brandon Shoupe was aware of.

Granberry thought she was doing the right thing, because she was asked, and gave her password to enter the CAD system. The CAD system is not the state security systems to leak sensitive law enforcement data. It is the local, City of Dothan – Houston County Communications District Board system.

Different passwords are required to enter into the state security systems and national systems.

What Elliot plead to was subsection A, which was giving her password. And to say that Granberry and Taylor “the pair accessed and passed along restricted information from a state law enforcement database” is a lie. Elliot did not illegally breach any data. Her only crime was trust in allowing someone to use her password.

13 – 008 – 112 (a)  CODE OF ALABAMA

(8) Giving a password, identifying code, personal identification number, debit card number, bank account number, or other confidential information about a computer security system to another person without the consent of the person using the computer security system to restrict access to a computer, computer network, computer system, or data.

WTVY FALSE ARTICLE

DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) -A former Dothan police dispatch supervisor accused of breaching state security systems to leak sensitive law enforcement data will avoid prison and could keep her criminal record clean.

Prosecutors say Granberry conspired with Jesse Ryan Taylor, an Houston County Emergency Management Agency contractor who worked in the same building. Together, the pair accessed and passed along restricted information from a state law enforcement database.

END OF QUOTE OF WTVY ARTICLE

Ken Curtis put out a lot of fake news when this originally happened. And attempted to smear Rickey Stokes into this, which was a lie.

The plea was pre-trial diversion. If Granberry follows the terms of the pre-trial agreement the misdemanor offense will be dismissed, and the remaining 11 counts will be thrown out.

 

06:57 AM 3816 10-7 FOR THE LAST TIME

HOUSTON COUNTY:    05:52 AM    This morning a voice came over the Houston County Sheriff Primary Radio:

3816  ( Lt. Robert Reichert )

DISPATCH:     3816

3816      10-7 ( Out of Service  For the Last Time.

DISPATCH:       Read a statement thanking Lt. Reichert for his 27 years of serving and protecting the citizens of Houston County, and other information.

3816        Thank you and the others that serve do so we honor and integrity.Love ya’ll!

And with that, the man beind the badge who has served 27 years with Houston County Sheriff Department ends his tenure and walks into retirement. Proud of the job that he has done. While most slept, for many years Lt. Reichert commanded the night patrol deputies with Houston County Sheriff Department.

A leader who did not send depities because he was rank, but responded to calls as primary officer or backup Deputy to others.

Always calm, and managing whatever chaos. Worked well with Dothan Police patrol on whatever shift he was on.

THANK YOU Lt. Robert Reichert for your years of service and best wishes on your retirment.

12:56 PM   Random Act Of Kindness

12:56 PM Random Act Of Kindness

DOTHAN:    12:40 PM     This afternoon RSN was sitting at the traffic lights of Prevatt and Ross Clark Circle. I observed a male in a gray KIA SUV park and walk over to a man sitting on the grass on the shoulder of the road in the shade. The man was sitting at the entrance to Publix, Cottonwood Road. The man driving the KIA had a bag and bent over to the man speaking to him briefly, handing him the bag.

I assume it was food or drinks to help the man that appeared homeless. It appeared to be a random act of kindness, quietly done.

No idea who either man is. The appearance was a random act of kindness to help someone else. Not to be seen or complimented.

GOOD JOB and what servanthood is about.

UPDATED @ 8:26 PM 07:28 AM Three ( 3 ) Year Old Suffers Gunshot Wound To The Chest

GENEVA COUNTY – HARTFORD:   05:07 AM     Parent or Parents had a firearm under the pillow and a three ( 3 ) year old was able to get firearm. An apparent self inflicted gunshot wound to the chest.

In Geneva County, at 5:07 AM, ALL SYSTEMS WERE IN PLACE and worked as designed.

The Geneva County 911 took the call andn obtained the information and rolled emergency units. A Geneva County Deputy Sheriff, a former Marine, rolled swiftly. The Geneva County Sheriff Deputy had a trauma kit and applied the immediate life saving measures.

Slocomb Fire – Rescue Chief Kyle Hovey was at the Slocomb Fire Station at 5:07 AM running the tower. That is literally “running” as in exercising. A off duty Dothan Fire Paramedic, who works with Slocomb Fire – Rescue rolled with Chief Kyle Hovey.

Slocomg Fire – Rescue Operations Chief Brandon Hovey came flying out of bed and rolled very swiftly. As Brandon Hovey rolled in the patient was loaded in the ambulance. Brandon leaps from one vehicle into the back of the amulance. Also in the ambulance was the Geneva County Sheriff Deputy who jumped into the ambulance.

The Slocomb Fire – Rescue was on the scene for 1 minute or less when they had the child loaded and rolling to Flowers Hospital.

Dothan Police Department learned of the call and was in a position to intercept the ambulance and run ahead clearing the roadway so there was no delays for the ambulance. Clearing traffic and intersections so the Slocomb Fire – Rescue ambulance never had to slow down.

On arrival at Flowers Hospital the trauma team and emergency room staff were in place and immediately began treatment of this precious three year old child. This was a 40 calibar weapon gunshot wound. Children’s Hospital was contacted and the child was transported, unknown if ground or air, to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham.

THIS WAS A GREAT TEAM. Beginning with the Geneva County 911 dispatcher, to the Geneva County Sheriff Deputy, to Slocomb Fire – Rescue, Dothan Police Department, Flowers Hospital, and then to Children’s Hospital.

UPDATED @ 8:26 PM   

UNOFFICIALLY, and not confirmed, but based on the best information available, the child came through surgery as well as could be expected. The child is in critical condition.
