DOTHAN: Earlier today Dothan Police made a traffic stop. The suspect refused police commands when on the ground to move his hands out from under him.
After warnings Dothan Police tazed the suspect. The prongs did not stick and the suspect fled on foot.
While Dothan Police were in foot pursuit the suspect was trying to get rid of the gun. As he was apparently pulling the weapon from his pants he fired the weapon.
Dothan Police apprehended the suspect.
The officers were able to get the suspect handcuffed.
The suspect then exhibited symptoms of a seizure. Dothan Fire and Pilcher Ambulance were called to the scene and checked the suspect out. He was also transported to a Dothan hospital where he was checked out.
Some by standers caught the incident on video. You can see the video.
Some on social media put out that Dothan Police shot someone. That WAS FALSE and not true at all. Dothan Police did not fire a gun at the suspect.
