Bloody Woman Screaming In Local Street Leads To Human Trafficking Arrest
December 16, 2020
A bloody woman screaming on a Flomaton street led to a human trafficking arrest last month, the Flomaton Police Department said on Monday.
Flomaton Police responded after receiving a call that the woman was standing in Dr. Van Avenue on November 1. Officers arrived on scene to find the female has already been picked up by a man driving a white car.
During their investigation, Flomaton Police were able to identify the vehicle and its owner. Alabama State Troopers located the vehicle on I-65 near Montgomery. The woman was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Troopers identified the driver as LaShawn Maurice Owens and charged him with human trafficking. Troopers said Owens trafficked the victim between Alabama, Florida and Georgia.

Always watch your loved ones closely.
I’ve read four different news accounts of the story. A fugitive from Wisconsin who had been traveling around multiple states with a victim of human trafficking got caught in Montgomery after witnesses in Flomaton saw her screaming and called the Flomaton Police. They then notified the Troopers who made the arrest.
I don’t understand why people are critical of the police because they didn’t give a press briefing at the time.
Just saying, you are missing my point. If you knew about it on the 1st then you would probably watch your love ones a little closer.
Really retired msgt?
Don’t you think if your family was abducted you would already know?
Not saying every detail needs to be made public but I wonder how you would feel if one of your love ones was abducted on Nov 2 and then this story came out on Dec 15. Just saying
Observations really need to be done inside BREWTON, EAST BREWTON AND JUST OUTSIDE THE CITY LIMITS OF EACH FoR Neumerous crimal items!!!!
Appears the retired master sgt never worked law enforcement or a multi-state crime ring. There are many many reasons why the public doesn’t need to know every detail immediately.
Just saying
Respectfully disagree with MSgt Retired. Probably when this guy was arrested police attempted to get info about his associates and any network he participated in. Bad actors never work alone. Immediate announcement of his arrest would send all the other rats scurrying for cover. Hopefully he provided useful info. Justice: his is coming.
Many things come to mind but will just say, “Lock him UP and throw away the key” maybe he’ll enjoy being ‘trafficked’ in prison.
Why are we just now learning about this? This important info that should have been told to the community, so people will be more observant.
