Atmore Police said the suspect is responsible for the theft of two vehicles that both resulted in high speed pursuits on Highway 31

Attempting to elude? I think he succeeded in Atmore.
Good job LEO’s!!!!!!!!
Aww shucks….
He promised to be good next time so go on and release him as usual.
A one-man crime wave. Just more proof that criminals have no boundaries having committed criminal offenses in at least 4 different jurisdictions. It wont surprise me to see that the only jail time he does will be that time in Alabama awaiting the completion of his court dates, cause once he gets to Bay County I figure he will get some type of probation and be free to commit more criminal acts.
Al Bundy?
