Breaking: New Mug Shot and Court Hearing for White

 

Above is the latest mugshot of Casey Cole White taken late yesterday. The escaped felon will be the subject of a status hearing at noon today at the Lauderdale County Courthouse.

After Judge Benjamin Graves finalizes the paperwork, White will be ready for transport to Kilby Receiving outside Montgomery as soon as he arrives from Indiana. Sheriff Singleton is expected to hold a presser at some point after the hearing.

It is not known (or at least not released publicly) who will be present to represent White. It's unlikely, but still possible, that Judge Graves will not make a decision on the escapee's status today.

We'll be following. Please, prayers for everyone involved.

Casey White as Snake Plissken in "Escape from F! Town"

Don't miss the reboot of the Escape series. After his abysmal reception in the MCU, Wyatt Russell is no longer a part of the project. Casey While, until now a bit actor, will portray the iconic Snake Plissken.

Joining him as his ageing new squeeze is a reported star of duck porn known for her sensuous waddle. Billed only as Slicky Vicky, the actress has so far failed to confirm her plum role. A hologram of Orson Welles is also reported to be a major addition to the cast as the Lauderdale County sheriff. 

What prompted producers to offer the movie's lead to Casey? Reportedly, he and his ducky duchess were discovered at the Florence Escape Room where they recently became the first to solve the new puzzle - Escape from Lauderdale County Jail.

Is it the Sheffield School Board's Fault?

 

Last week Listerhill gave EVERY STUDENT at each Sheffield school a FREE pair of NEW tennis shoes PLUS 5 pairs of socks. FREE! Would you believe some ungrateful parents actually showed up at the school, making total asses out of themselves, because they didn't like the 'color, brand, style, etc' tennis shoes that their kid(s) received?!?! 

UNreal! Only in Sheffield is such behavior ALLOWED to happen. This issue falls SQUARELY in the laps of a DEAF school board.

Mother's Day 2022

 

Mothers tell their children to make good choices. It works both ways; mothers need to make good choices to protect and teach their children.

This Mother's Day we have at least one Shoals mother fearing for her child and not knowing if she's still alive. We see another young mother lamenting losing her mother at a young age due to horrible life choices. Don't let this be you.

A Very Happy Mother's Day from all of us at

Conservative Party Alabama Endorses Brent Woodall

 

BRENT WOODALL FOR PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION PLACE 1

Candidate for Public Service Commission Place 1 Brent Woodall announced Friday that he has been endorsed by Conservative Party Alabama for the Public Service Commission Place 1 seat. Conservative Party Alabama is comprised of true conservatives and its stated “mission is to promote and protect individual rights and freedoms as set forth in the United States Constitution, and to limit the scope of government ... .”

Woodall said, “I am thrilled to have been endorsed by Conservative Party Alabama. I am especially honored because, in making this endorsement, the members of Conservative Party Alabama made it clear that I am the candidate who first alerted them to the hidden tax that too many ratepayers in Alabama pay on their utility bills. As your Alabama Public Service Commission Place 1 Commissioner, I am going to eliminate that hidden tax, something my opponent, a career-politician, has failed to do although he has been in that office for nearly a decade. The recognition of Conservative Party Alabama follows the endorsement I recently received from the Alabama Republican Assembly and my having won the straw poll conducted by Eagle Forum. These endorsements and that win demonstrate that conservatives in Alabama are coalescing around my campaign. This is the best opportunity that Alabama has had in years to bring about positive change at the Public Service Commission. I am going to continue to work hard to maintain the momentum our campaign has built and I ask every conservative Republican in Alabama to vote for me on May 24.”

Woodall is an attorney in private practice and is a lifelong Republican who proudly served as a delegate for President Donald Trump at the 2016 National Republican Convention in Cleveland, OH.

Casey White: Haldol Moobs?

 

During the past week, several have pointed out that, if our infamous escapee is on anti-psychotic drugs, he's not now. This could be a very dangerous situation for Vicky White or anyone who comes into the felon's path.

We've also seen comments about Casey White's enlarged breasts. What's going on? We asked someone in the medical profession:

Males with Klinefelter's Syndrome sometimes have enlarged mammaries. Since White is a father, we can rule that out. Older, as in 70s or 80s with diminished hormones? No, he's in his late 30s. That usually leaves just drugs, and many psych drugs can have this effect. Haldol is an older drug that is very cheap at this point and often preferred to treat prisoners who aren't deemed worthy of state of the art meds. If I had to guess, Casey has been on haloperidol or something very similar for quite some time.

For those who have asked about the pair securing run of the mill medications, the two won't always be front page news. Travel out of the Southeast and some cities have a doc in the box on every corner, some of them "free" clinics. So don't worry too much about Vicky's waddle getting out of hand without her meloxicam.

Previous Escapes from the LCDC? You Betcha!

 

We weren't sure whether to laugh or groan when a reader stated she could recall no previous escapes from the Lauderdale County Detention Center. Here's a few over the last two decades.

In February 2003, William Shane Nichols, 30, made a run from a deputy while attending his father's visitation at a local funeral home. He was apprehended less than 24 hours later.

September 2003, Travis Montrell Smith, 17, ran through an open detention center door as another inmate was being released. He was arrested later that same day after getting into a fight in West Florence.

December 2004, Keith Dewayne Jones, 21, was placed in a holding cell adjacent to municipal court awaiting his case to be called. As the door was opened for another prisoner, he ran out and escaped through the courtroom, injuring officer Mickey Hines who attempted to stop him. After only a few minutes, authorities spotted Jones at the corner of Seminary and Dr. Hicks, wearing only his underwear. He was promptly taken into custody.

January 2006, Lamont Nance, 26, escaped during a head count after a jailer(s) left several doors unlocked. He was arrested two months later in Sheffield.

February 2006, Davis Lynn Hamm, 25, and Jerry Randall Myrick, 29, both jail trusties, escaped while unloading a truck of supplies just outside the booking room of the jail. Both men left notes saying they hoped there would be no hard feelings. They were both apprehended later that day.

October 2007, three inmates escaped from the unlocked holding cell at municipal court. On the run were Demetrius Thompson, found later that day at a Florence school, Adam Dale Johnson who was captured the next day, and James Powell captured at a later date.

August 2009, Rodney Rodell Davis, 42. walked away from a work detail outside the detention center and managed to commit three robberies before being captured near the library two days later.

October 2009, Jory Scott Wood, 27, walked away from the detention center. He was captured in Lawrenceburg six months later.

September 2012, four inmates escaped the detention center via an air conditioner duct. Gone were Ricky Dewane Lawson, 28, Wesley Lee Gibson, 26, Damien Lee Nix, 23, and Robert Lee Brown, 23. Three were arrested the next day, with the fourth captured some time later in Evergreen, Alabama.

April 2013, Terry Wayne Myers, 43, escaped through the air conditioning system. He was apprehended some days later in Laurel County, Kentucky.

June 2013, Jerry Don Crowden, 41 year-old perennial Shoals Bad Boy, climbed over a fence at the detention Center  Crowden was later apprehended and is currently serving a 20 year sentence at Limestone Correctional Center. This was his second escape. He will not be released until 2033.

This ends Sheriff Ronnie Willis' tenure. We'll look at escapes from the LCDC under Rick Singleton in a few days.
