A two vehicle wreck was reported with entrapment just south of the south bypass on Hwy 55. The accident had traffic re-routed for about an hour as emergency personnel and workers cleared the wreckage from the hwy. WKNI TV 25 was told by the driver of the pickup truck involved that the car that hit him had come into his lane and as the river of the truck attempted to miss him the car struck his drivers side rear and then the trailer he was pulling with a four wheeler. The driver of the car was entrapped when the first units arrived and was able to be removed and transported to Andalusia Hospital, where Life Flight was to meet them to transport the driver. Once the ambulance arrived at the emergency room it was reported to WKNI TV 25 that the injuries were none life threatening. Life Flight was canceled. WKNI TV 25 also was told at the scene that Alcohol may have played a role in the accident. The two that were in the truck were not injured. Alabama State Troopers are investigating the cause of the accident. Andalusia Police Department, Covington County Sheriffs Deputies, Advance EMS, Andalusia Rescue and the Alabama State Troopers were at the scene.

Abuse charges filed against Pike Co. father
Written by
Eddie Lewis
The father of two young boys is in the Pike County jail charged with the torture and willful abuse of a child.
Joseph Matthew Johnson, 24, 1009 County Road 2250 off the Henderson Highway, was also charged with domestic violence third degree.
Pike County Sheriff Russell Thomas said the sheriff’s department was notified of a possible abuse situation by the Troy Regional Medical Center emergency room.
Investigator Frank Wheeler reported that the incident apparently stemmed from water being on the floor in the hallway of the Johnson home.
“Johnson became angry and grabbed the boys, ages two and three, and pushed them to the floor and rubbed their faces and bodies in the water to mop it up,” Wheeler said. “He slapped them in the face and abused the three-year-old to the extent of breaking his arm. He also slapped his wife and is charged with harassment against her.”
Thomas said the three-year-old was treated at the emergency room at Troy Regional Medical. The younger boy had bruising but was not treated at the hospital.
“The children were removed from the home by the Department of Human Resources,” Thomas said. “The incident remains under investigation.”

Deputies Confiscates Over 400 Pounds Of Pot
Written by
Eddie Lewis
A woman was arrested on drug trafficking charges after officers claimed they found over 400 pounds of pot in her SUV.
A Tuscaloosa County deputy stopped a GMC Yukon with U.S. Government tags first because it was driving too close to another vehicle on the Interstate 20/59. The deputy also noticed the tag numbers in the front and back of the car were different.
A strong smell of marijuana was detected by the officer while walking toward the SUV. The deputy says the driver, 31-year-old Jeri Shonte Lacy from Dallas, Texas was visibly shaking.
Officers say Lacy first denied she was transporting drugs but later admitted to it.
Officers say they found 20 bundles of marijuana wrapped in clear plastic.
The government tags on the SUV were fake. Lacy also told the deputies that she was an Army recruiting officer which turned out to be untrue. The FBI was contacted about both of the false claims.
