On February 18, 2015, the Dothan Police Department responded to a call of suspicious circumstances in the 1300 block of Choctaw Street which resulted in the discovery of deceased male.
The ensuing investigation led investigators to believe the man died of natural causes, and the body of the individual was removed from the home. Investigators say that shortly after the home was vacated, former roommates of the deceased, Eric Joiner and Shelly Langston forcefully entered the home. The two were found on the property by the caretaker of the deceased and the police were contacted. Through further investigation it was discovered that Joiner and Langston were evicted from the residence several months ago and had no legal right to be inside of the home.
Joiner and Langston were both arrested and charged with third degree burglary.
- Eric Shaun Joiner, white male, 34 years of age, of Fern Drive was arrested and charged with third degree Burglary.
- Shelly Lee Langston, white female, 37 years of age, of Fern Drive was arrested and charged with third degree Burglary.
Bonds have been set for Joiner and Langston at $15,000.00 each. All persons arrested are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
