Suspect turns himself in after alleged road rage shooting in Lacey's Spring
May 23—A man alleged to have fired a gun into an occupied car during a road rage incident last week in Lacey's Spring turned himself in to authorities Wednesday afternoon, according to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office said Jonathan Daniel Green, 47, of Arab, is charged with discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. He is being held in the Morgan County Jail in lieu of $90,000 bail. Jail records Thursday indicated an investigator's hold had been placed on him.
According to an affidavit filed in Morgan County District Court, deputies responded to the road rage incident on May 16 and the victim told them he was traveling south on U.S. 231 when his friend called him and stated "that a guy in a gold Lincoln car was tailgating him and flashing the headlights at him."
The friend slammed on his brakes, and the Lincoln passed him. As it did, the friend saw a white male driver pointing a silver revolver at him.
After getting behind the Lincoln, the victim took a picture of the vehicle and the license tag.
"(The victim) then stated the driver of the (Lincoln) hit his brakes, causing (the victim) to go into the southbound left lane and when the driver got next to his vehicle, he heard what appeared to be gunshots and something hit his vehicle," the affidavit said.
The victim and his friend pulled their vehicles over on Rescue Road at Union Hill Road and observed a bullet hole in the front passenger door of the victim's Toyota Camry.
The victim positively identified Green as the driver of the Lincoln, according to the affidavit.
Shooting into an occupied vehicle is a Class B felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Is Lincoln Lawyer season 4 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 7, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated June 7, 2025, 15:57 IST The Netflix legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer , based on Michael Connelly's bestselling novels, has kept fans on the edge of their seats with its gripping storylines and charismatic lead, Mickey Haller, played by Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. After the shocking cliffhanger in Season 3, fans are eagerly asking: Is The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far. The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4: Is It Happening? Good news for fans— The Lincoln Lawyer has been officially renewed for a fourth season! Netflix confirmed the renewal in January 2025, with production kicking off in February 2025 in Los Angeles. The series, which follows defense attorney Mickey Haller as he navigates high-stakes cases from his Lincoln Navigator, will continue with 10 new episodes. However, a June 2025 release for Season 4 is highly unlikely. Based on production timelines and Netflix's release patterns, let's dive into when we can expect the new season and what it will bring. The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Release Date Speculation While Netflix hasn't announced an official release date for Season 4, we can estimate based on previous seasons' production schedules: Season 2: Filming began in October 2022, wrapped in March 2023, and premiered in July 2023 (9 months from filming start). Season 3: Filming started in January 2024, ended in June 2024, and premiered in October 2024 (10 months from filming start). Season 4: Filming began in February 2025 and is expected to wrap by June or July 2025. Given this pattern, a release 9–10 months after filming starts points to November or December 2025 at the earliest. However, several reports suggest a 2026 release is more likely, as Netflix didn't include The Lincoln Lawyer in its 2025 slate. What Will The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 Be About? Season 4 will adapt The Law of Innocence , the sixth book in Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series. The Season 3 finale set up a dramatic premise: Mickey Haller is arrested after police find the body of a former client, Sam Scales, in the trunk of his Lincoln, framing him for murder. In Season 4, Mickey will face his biggest and most personal challenge yet—defending himself in court. Co-showrunner Ted Humphrey teased that the season will 'pick up right where we left off,' diving into the charges and adversaries Mickey faces. Expect a thrilling courtroom drama as Mickey, imprisoned and representing himself, fights to prove his innocence against a conspiracy that may involve new enemies or old foes.

Tennessee man arrested for trafficking fentanyl after vehicle pursuit with Priceville police
Jun. 7—A Tennessee man was arrested Thursday night after fleeing officers in a traffic stop on Interstate 65, crashing his vehicle, and attempting to escape on foot before officers apprehended him and found fentanyl in his possession, according to the Priceville Police Department. Lebanon resident Richard Conrad Rothe, 34, is charged with drug trafficking, unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest, using false identity to avoid arrest and hinder prosecution, reckless endangerment, driving under the influence, tampering with physical evidence, reckless driving, and felony attempting to elude a police officer. Police said a Morgan County Circuit Judge has set Rothe's total bond at $420,300 with additional holds for authorities in Tennessee and Kentucky. At approximately 11:50 p.m., police said they initiated a traffic stop in the 3200 block of Point Mallard Parkway and made contact with a male driver, Rothe, and a female passenger. An affidavit said police stopped the blue Nissan Altima for seat belt and failure to signal violations. As soon as officers approached the vehicle, it began to elude them in the southbound lane on I-65 and continued toward Falkville, according to police. "The suspect's vehicle exited I-65 and entered the town of Falkville, nearly colliding with two patrol vehicles belonging to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office," police said. "The suspect then altered course and continued fleeing toward the Eva area." Rothe eventually crashed his vehicle and veered off the road as he rounded a curve on Adams Road in Eva and attempted to escape on foot until deputies apprehended him in a pond where he was trying to conceal himself, according to the affidavit. Police said they found fentanyl and drug paraphernalia on Routhe and he told paramedics at the scene he had also consumed illegal narcotics. After being checked out at Decatur Morgan Hospital, he was transported to Morgan County Jail. An affidavit said there was a total of 12.3 grams of fentanyl found on Routhe and that he initially declined to identify himself. Police said the female passenger was captured in Eva on Friday and charged with unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. She was held in lieu of $500 bail at Morgan County Jail. — or 256-340-2442.

$10K tactical robot purchase discovery leads to answers from Sheriff's Office
ST. LOUIS – From an alleged secret luxury vehicle to the latest FOX 2 discovery of new tactical robots, the St. Louis Sheriff's Office is now breaking its silence with the media. 'That's kind of an inexpensive way to take a small shot at a big problem,' retired judge David Mason said in response to our latest findings. Mason recently left 34 years as a circuit court judge to join the St. Louis Sheriff's Office as its lawyer. Missouri statute only allows him to be paid $15,000 a year for the job, which Mason said is proof he's only representing Sheriff Alfred Montgomery because he wants to. 'He's young, but he has a lot of vision about what he wants to do,' Mason said of Sheriff Montgomery. He agreed to talk on behalf of the Sheriff to answer FOX 2's latest discovery of two tactical robots that cost a combined $10k. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The office showed us one of them in action. 'It's a stopgap immediate measure for a big security problem,' Mason said. We've seen cases of courtroom violence because Mason said other courthouses have cameras everywhere, but not in St. Louis. 'We know that if somebody wants to take over a courtroom,' the retired judge said, '…we don't know what's going on in there.' He says the roving remote robot could be the eyes to help court security respond to a threat. 'Security is job one,' Mason said. He also agreed to address the new Chevy Tahoe we revealed on FOX 2 Thursday: 'Historically, the car for the Sheriff has been purchased from that budget, and that's what this Sheriff did.' Mason said funds were used that don't impact taxpayers; rather, he said they came from a pot of fees collected from things like the office's process serving. He said the vehicle will be Sheriff Montgomery's take-home car, adding, 'There's always a car available to make sure business is done and that's really what it comes down to.' Mason said more changes are coming. He also promised the Sheriff's Office will be more open about those changes – as we continue following decisions that impact the public.
