Atmore Man Indicted For Murder Of His Brother

August 27, 2015

An Atmore man has been indicted for the May murder of his brother despite a stand your ground claim.

An Escambia County grand jury indicted James “Jamie” Tolin Scott on one count of reckless murder for the shooting death of Tony Tolin Scott.  Tony Scott was shot to death with a small caliber rifle at James Scott’s home on Jefferson Avenue in McCullough, a small community north of Atmore.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office had responded multiple times to the home prior to the shooting due to fights between the brothers.

James Scott remains in the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton with bond set at $250,000.

    Blood IS thicker than water.
    Put them both on a viscometer to see.
    Sometimes people are thickest of all.

    If you can’t get along, try to get away.

    If you can’t get away, aim carefully.

    David for reduced conflict
