According to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and local law enforcement representatives, James Gabberd was taken into custody and booked into the Lee County Jail after the incident, which was captured on video obtained by local news outlets.

Emergency personnel responded, and one of the teenagers was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash. The other teen declined medical transport at the scene, according to investigators.
After the hit-and-run, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency troopers, the Phenix City Police Department, and the Russell County Sheriff’s Office located Gabberd and the vehicle at an address on 13th Street in downtown Phenix City.
