FOLEY, Ala. On September 20, 2026, Foley Police Department officers responded to the 13000 block of McGaster Trail regarding a reported dog bite.

Upon arrival, officers located an adult female who had sustained multiple bites from aggressive canines. Emergency medical services transported the victim to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

During the preliminary investigation, officers determined that the victim and the dogs’ owner, Nikeyl Jones (33) of Foley, reside at the same address. Authorities accounted for five Pit Bull-type canines at the scene. Due to their ongoing aggressive behavior and immediate safety concerns, two of the canines were euthanized on scene, and the remaining three were seized.

This incident follows multiple prior animal-related complaints involving this address. Jones had recently appeared in court regarding issues stemming from these same animals.

Jones is being charged under the violations section of Emily’s Law, a Class C felony. Emily’s Law is a state statute that sets a formal legal process for investigating unprovoked dog attacks and holding owners criminally accountable. Jones is also being charged with one count of Reckless Endangerment, a Class A misdemeanor.

At this time, the Foley Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating Mr. Jones, as he has been uncooperative during this investigation. If you know where Nikeyl Jones is, please contact your local law enforcement agency.

29-year-old Edward Frith threatened violence and law enforcement from several agencies took the threats seriously and were able to track Frith to Alabama.

Federal prosecutors said Frith stated that if he were ever arrested, it would likely be for “killing a cop.” Authorities also alleged Frith stated he would shoot FBI agents if they came to his residence.

The Fairhope man has been indicted on a federal charge of interstate threatening communications and other charges and has been taken into custody.

Frith is currently booked into the Baldwin County Detention Center.

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. Across the nation, teens and even some adults have found a new way to have fun by using Orbeez guns which shoot gel pellets.

While it sounds, harmless, police say they can be dangerous and even considered to be an assault when a person not engaged in the activity is struck and injured.

Now, the Orange Beach Police, have also been receiving calls being victims of the shooting fray.

So, the Orange Beach Police Department is warning the public after officers responded to multiple incidents involving juveniles and young adults shooting Orbeez guns to be aware of what’s going on around you.

Police said targeting individuals who are not participating in the game is considered a crime rather than a prank.

Authorities also noted that the gel beads can freeze solid converting the soft ammunition into dangerous projectiles capable of causing serious injury and leading to legal consequences.

Assault charges in Alabama are categorized into three distinct degrees under the Alabama Criminal Code, ranging from misdemeanors to high-level felonies based on intent, injury severity, weapons, and the victim’s profession.

Officers are asking participants to keep games strictly between consenting players and to respect neighboring residents.

However, if you become a victim of an unwanted attack, call 911 and report the offenders description, location and the facts of what happened.

Tick Populations Are Increasing-Here’s What You Need to Know

BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. Ticks are on the move and this year, they are attacking humans and animals with a vengeance!

As an avid outdoorsman, I find myself constantly trying new sprays and gadgets to ward these pesky, and very dangerous little bugs off but somehow, they always penetrate my layers of defensive techniques.

This year, reports across dozens of states put the tick as having a great year for them, but not so much for the humans and their pets.

Ticks are present in Alabama and are active year-round due to the state’s warm and humid climate. Common ticks include the Blacklegged (Deer), American Dog (Wood), and Lone Star ticks, which thrive in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas are currently thriving in our area.
Tick bites tend to increase during the warmer months, particularly from April to September, and tick-borne illnesses have been reported throughout the year and yes, they can carry the deadly Lyme Disease.

Many hikers and campers enjoy spending time outdoors this time of year, but even those fishing off the grassy banks or areas with overgrowth can find themselves victims of a tick bite.

Primarily in our area, blacklegged ticks (deer ticks) are known to carry the disease and can be found in a host of areas.
My friend, Charles is far from an outdoors man but he loves his backyard grilling and lounging out near his pool from early spring all the way through late November.
Last year he found out that he had been a victim of a tick bite and so had his dog, Erma.
Thankfully, neither suffered any serious consequences from the bites.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses are increasing, with emergency department visits for tick bites across the Southeast and they’re reaching their highest level in the past decade.

Health experts recommend wearing long sleeves, long pants and a hat while outdoors. They also advise checking for ticks as soon as possible after coming inside, especially after showering.
And that includes your four-legged friends.

In some states, tick bites can also bring with it, spotted fever, Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis and STARI,”. All of them can be treated with antibiotics and in rare cases, some people must receive extensive treatment.

Health officials say get to an emergency room immediately if develop symptoms such as fever, unusual fatigue, headaches, joint or muscle aches, or a bull’s-eye rash.

Federal Judge Rules in Favor of Mobile and 2 Police Officers in Wrongful Death Lawsuit

By Dale Hines

March 12, 2026

MOBILE, AL. A wrongful death lawsuit concluded in Mobile on Tuesday, and a federal judge has ruled in favor of the city of Mobile and two police officers.

The lawsuit alleged the Mobile police officers approached Jawan Dallas in a Theodore mobile home park because he matched the description of a burglary suspect nearly three years ago.

Dallas was non-compliant and a physical altercation ensued and Officer Christian Davila used a Taser gun to subdue Dallas and he later died.

During the trial, a state medical examiner testified that “to a reasonable degree of medical probability and certainty,” Dallas died from cardiorespiratory failure caused by a mix of drugs in his system. The medical examiner also concluded that the use of the Taser did not cause the death.

Based on the testimony of the medical examiner, U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose ruled that Davila’s use of force was “objectively reasonable” and that he is entitled to qualified immunity.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Dallas died from a heart attack approximately twenty minutes after he was handcuffed. … There is no evidence to refute these findings,” the judge wrote.

Harry Daniels, an attorney for the Dallas family, expressed disappointment with the ruling. He said the evidence is clear that Dallas, 36, was dry-stunned 15 times in 40 seconds.

DuBose also ruled in favor of the city and Officer Jarred Hutto, concluding that the plaintiff’s attorneys had “abandoned” their claims against them by failing to adequately respond to their legal arguments.

Davila and Hutto went to Carol Plantation Mobile Home Park to investigate a report of a possible burglary. Lawyers for the Dallas family disputed that, arguing that at best, it was a case of trespassing. But DuBose noted that the dispatcher originally reported it as a possible burglary.

According to court records, when the officers arrived, they saw Dallas behind the wheel of a car next to a property and another man behind a fence of one of the mobile homes.

Th officers acted within the legal scope of their duties when Davila asked Dallas for his license. After a few minutes, Dallas got out of the car and tried to run. A scuffle ensued. Davila told Dallas to stop resisting and then used his Taser. Dallas repeatedly said, “I can’t breathe.” DuBose acknowledged that in her ruling but wrote, “There is no evidence to support a finding that the force was categorically unconstitutional; the only evidence indicates that Mr. Dallas was resisting the Officers attempt to subdue him.”

The judge also wrote that there is nothing to dispute that Dallas was a threat to the officers.
