Alabama Attempted Murder Suspect Jailed In Escambia, FL
March 30, 2015
An Alabama attempted murder suspect is now behind bars in Escambia County, FL.
Walter Lee Hodges, 43, was allegedly driving southbound on Highway 31 near Brewton, AL, on March 22 when he met a vehicle occupied by his ex-wife and her relative. He allegedly ran the vehicle off the road after giving chase, and then rammed his vehicle into the one occupied by his ex-wife multiple times. Authorities said the actions were no accident, that Hodges was acting in a purposeful manner intent on harming his ex-wife.
Hodges fled the scene, with warrants issued for his arrest for attempted murder. His ex-wife and her cousin suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Hodges is being held in the Escambia County (FL) Jail without bond as he awaits extradition back to Alabama. He is also be held on a Florida charge of failing to appear for a misdemeanor charge. Court records show he failed to appear on a 1998 charge of operating a motor vehicle with a suspending license.
