Woman Charged In Early Morning Murder Outside Atmore

November 5, 2016

One person is dead and another jailed after an early morning murder in the Booneville community north of Atmore.

At 1:53 a.m. Saturday, the Escambia County (AL) Sheriff’s Office responded to a domestic disturbance on Adabell Road to find 46-year old Eric Leon Rolin dead from a single gunshot wound. He had been shot by 47-year old Kimberly Hardy Rolin, according to Chief Deputy Mike Lambert.

The couple had a history of domestic violence, Lambert said, and had been arguing before the shooting.

Kimberly Rolin has been charged with an open count of murder and is being held without bond in the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton awaiting a bond hearing on Monday.

The investigation into the murder is active and ongoing, Lambert said.

    Unless you have been in a relationship or married to someone that is abusive, you have no clue how or what to do. My ex husband would tell me that if I left him, he would kill me, my children, and everybody in my family. He would beat me when I nor he even knew what he was mad about. I believed him. Went to church and people in the church thought he was the nicest guy. I wanted to tell someone, but I was afraid they would tell him. So I decided I was going to take it no more. I wanted him dead, but I just left and never looked back. Some women are not that fortunate.

    When you have bad enough you leave the person. You don’t kill them.
