Marvin Anthony Haynie, 46, was taken into custody on domestic violence charges on October 28 on the Poarch Creek Indian reservation north of Atmore. He has not been charged in connection with the shooting incident.

this is a sad situation.. im prayin for THIS COP AND OTHERS.. FOR THE FAMILYS AND ALLLLLL ::(*(((
poor cops!
Each and every one of us has the duty to change this. It starts tomorrow at the voting booth. We MUST vote in candidates who stand strong on Peace and Justice. It’s high time we hold those politicians and judges responsible. Find them accountable! If they don’t do what we want and need…toss them out. It’s long over due that we fully support those first responders and law enforcement officers who day in and day out serve and protect us.
VOTE

The deputies need a raise!
We haven’t seen a raise in years, and we are paying more for benefits. We still do not complain and answer calls like the ones listed above almost every night.
I volunteer for Jury Duty!! Sign me up! I will be sure that Justice is served.
All our Deputies need our prayers…
The deputies need a raise!
