9:40 AM HCSO Brings Real-World Forensic Experience to Wicksburg High School
WICKSBURG, RSN
A huge thank you goes out to the Houston County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) for spending time with students during the semester wrap-up for the Forensic Science class at Wicksburg High School.
Investigators with HCSO set up multiple hands-on crime-scene scenarios, allowing students to work through real-world situations and apply what they’ve learned in the classroom. The interactive experience gave students valuable insight into how evidence is analyzed and how cases are solved beyond textbooks.
In addition to the investigative scenarios, deputies demonstrated K-9 handling and drone operations, showcasing the many different roles and tools law enforcement uses in modern investigations. Students also learned about the wide range of career paths available within criminal justice and forensic work.
Wicksburg High School staff and students expressed their appreciation to HCSO for taking the time to invest in education and inspire the next generation.
Thank you, Houston County Sheriff’s Office, for supporting our students and making learning come alive.

10:10 AM Dothan Mayor Says Cities Losing Big Money in Online Sales Tax Battle
DOTHAN-RSN
A multi-million-dollar legal dispute is unfolding in Alabama over how revenue from online sales taxes is divided between cities and counties.
At the center of the conflict is the Simplified Seller’s Use Tax (SSUT), an 8% tax applied to online purchases. Under the current state formula, that tax revenue is split between cities and counties — but several city leaders argue the distribution is unfair and no longer reflects modern shopping habits.
Dothan Mayor Mark Saliba says cities are losing out.
“That’s the money that we really have to have,” Saliba said.
Under traditional in-store sales, cities like Dothan receive a 4% local sales tax when purchases are made within city limits. However, for online purchases under the SSUT, cities receive only 2%, with the remaining portion going to counties.
Saliba says the difference has a real impact on city services.
“It’s hurting people who are in our school systems. They’re losing out on revenue. It’s hurting the cities,” Saliba said. “We’re living differently. We’re shopping differently. Everybody buys things online, and that’s not going to change.”
The dispute has escalated into a legal battle, with cities and counties taking opposing sides over how the tax should be divided moving forward. Saliba believes the issue could be resolved without prolonged litigation if compromise is reached.
“If you know me, I’m always looking for that middle ground and that compromise and collaborating with anybody,” Saliba said. “And so I am open to continue to do that.”
Despite that openness, Saliba maintains that Dothan is not receiving what he considers its fair share of online sales tax revenue — money the city depends on to continue operations and services.
The State of Alabama has asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit. A ruling on the case is expected in January.
9:45 AM 🚨 GRINCH BUSTED: Holiday Criminal Nabbed at Geneva County Elementary 🚨
DOTHAN: RSN
Christmas came early for law enforcement Wednesday morning after the Grinch himself was apprehended at Geneva County Elementary School, according to the Hartford Police Department.
Officers responded to the school around 8 a.m. following multiple reports of suspicious green behavior, unexplained grumpiness, and a dangerous drop in Christmas spirit levels.
Upon arrival, officers say they observed the suspect actively attempting to interfere with holiday cheer, disrupt morning routines, and commit what investigators are calling crimes against Christmas.
Police say the Grinch was charged with:
-
Attempted Theft of Christmas
-
Interference with Yuletide Operations
-
Possession of a Heart Three Sizes Too Small
-
Disorderly Conduct
-
Conspiracy to Ruin Holiday Cheer
Authorities report the suspect was taken into custody without incident, though several officers noted intense side-eye, loud grumbling, and a general hatred of jingling bells.
After further investigation — and a sudden, unexplained growth of the suspect’s heart — the Grinch was released back to Whoville. Officials say he agreed to cooperate fully, return all stolen cheer, and participate in spreading holiday joy.
The Hartford Police Department reminds residents to remain vigilant this holiday season and encourages anyone who notices suspicious activity, missing presents, or unexplained grinch-like behavior to contact local authorities immediately.
🎅 Christmas Spirit: Restored. Case Closed.
