Alabama Man in Custody

Coffee County, AL

A 19 year old Coffee County man is in custody on charges of attempted murder, first degree criminal mischief, and third degree burglary.

He attempted to back over an officer responding to a trespassing call, made by his parents. The officer testified that, when he approached the vehicle that the young man was sitting in, the driver put the vehicle in reverse and spun the tires, narrowly missing the officer and crashing into his patrol car.

The young man fled the scene and was found at a nearby church, where three officers used Taser guns in an attempt to subdue him. They reported that because of his drug-induced state, the Tasers were rendered ineffective, so the officers removed him from the vehicle by force.

He admitted to huffing nearly 20 cans of duster over the weekend preceding the incident.
