The UNAbombers Four - Part II















Continued from yesterday...

The third athlete charged is Collins Montgomery. A graduate of Lawrence County High School, Montgomery lists Moulton as his home town. The 18 year-old was winner of the Decatur Daily Runner-of-the-Year in both 2007 and 2008. The son of John and Stefanie Montgomery, Collins also lettered in baseball while in high school and was majoring in pre-engineering. Montgomery is pictured on the left.

On the right is Dusty Talley, aged 18. He graduated from Ripley High School and lists Tupelo, Mississippi, as his home town. No other biographical data was available for Talley.

As of today, Lauderdale District Attorney Chris Connolly temporarily dismissed the explosive charges against the four while preparing a case to present to the grand jury. Sources say that William Dill is still charged with giving false information to the police, a misdemeanor.

These four young men are extremely lucky that they were were not injured in this so-called prank. The UNA track team is not so fortunate since Coach Trimble has lost most of his cross-country team and the Spring season is fast approaching. We wish him the best of luck.
