DOTHAN:    6:25 PM    Dothan Police 911 dispatched a motor vehicle accident on Mance Newton Road.


The reports to 911 were a overturned vehicle near Michelin. Dothan Police units found the overturned vehicle in the ditch at the creek between Barrington Road and Napier Field Road.


Dothan Fire and Pilcher Ambulance responded. No one was injured. The wet roads the driver ran off the road and the vehicle overturned in the ditch.


MEMORY  


During the time I served as Houston County Coroner, 1983 - 1987, early one morning Pilcher Ambulance called me to respond to this exact location to a death. When they called me I told them that was Dale County but they told me Dale County Sheriff Bryant Mixon told me to respond. So I responded.


When I arrived found a truck in the ditch with one fatality. As Sheriff Mixon and I were on the scene the Sheriff told me this was not going to be a wreck but a murder and he bet the Napier Field Police Chief did it.


We removed the body and it was the Mayor of Napier Field. At night he worked the parking lot at Dothan Airport.


The City Clerk and Police Chief had been stealing the water department money. 


The Napier Field Police Chief, Rudy, showed up at the hospital where the post mortem exam was taking place on the Mayor. The Police Chief was short and the Sheriff was tall. I remember the Sheriff walking over to the police chief and saying, Rudy... as close as you and the Mayor were you can leave and I will handle this. The police chief said thanks and left.


Dale County Sheriff Investigator Butch Jones and Alabama Bureau of Investigation Agent Loyd Arrington were assisting in the investigation.


The end results of the investigation, the City Clerk went to the Mayor at the airport like she had run out of gas. The Mayor carried her to put gas in her vehicle. The police chief had his police car hidden and came up behind the mayor striking him in the head and killing him. He then out the Mayor in his truck and drove to this location and ran the Mayor's truck in the creek as if the Mayor had a wreck and got killed.


Well, you can not fool Bryant Mixon. One of the legend great Sheriff's who has ever served. The Napier Field Police Chief was arrested and put in prison where years later he died.


Now this has nothing to do with this wreck. Just brought back memories of my involvement in a murder investigation where the Police Chief murdered the Mayor.
