Several charged with attempted murder Thieves shoot at citizen during car break-ins

Several individuals are in jail after a rash of car break-ins, which authorities originally thought to be gang-related. According to Etowah County Sheriff Jonathon Horton, the break-ins turned violent recently when several suspects shot at a vigilant neighbor who confronted them. Horton and Investigator Jeff Riggs, said that six young individuals, part of a larger group, went on a stealing spree the night of July 23 that spanned several jurisdictions. They allegedly stole anything that was in unlocked cars including money, guns and even a Bible. An unmarked car of Jacksonville State University's campus police chief was one of the cars that was targeted. "Females were the lookouts, and the guys did the stealing," Riggs said. It had been going on in the area for two weeks. Gadsden alone had 30-40 break-ins during that period. At about 9 p.m. on July 23, a resident on Stewart Avenue in the Camp Sibert neighborhood of Attalla was sitting in his open garage when he saw a white Ford Explorer go by with its lights turned off, said Attalla Chief Dennis Walker.

Knowing about the break-ins in the area, the neighbor decided to follow the Explorer on his ATV. He surprised the group as they were breaking into a car nearby, and he tried to block them in, Walker said. The suspects went around him, and he continued to follow them. At that point, the occupants of the car start shooting at the resident, striking his ATV, police said. He jumped off and took cover behind a tree, and ultimately wasn't injured. He called police with a description of the driver and a partial license plate number, said Attalla Chief Investigator Doug Jordan. The stealing continued, with several residents calling 911. The suspected group stopped at one house and a Chevy Cobalt was stolen. Deputies eventually located and began chasing the stolen vehicle and pulled it over. By this time, several authorities in the area were looking for the Explorer. Descriptions of the suspects from victims and the partial license plate number were used to find them. St. Clair County officials were familiar with the alleged driver, Kristen Ramey, age 21, from Leeds.

She's been charged with attempted murder and a probation violation, and at the time of the news release was being held in St. Clair County. The two shooting suspects in Attalla, both juveniles, have been charged with attempted murder and breaking and entering. Ladondrick Hughley, age 19, of Gadsden, has been charged with auto theft. Kimberly Stephens, age 18, of Leeds, has been charged with breaking and entering. Another juvenile was not in custody, according to Sheriff Horton, who added that more charges in the case are pending. After interviewing the suspects individually, it came out that some of them had come from Birmingham. But being from the area, at least one knew the more lucrative neighborhoods to hit. Sheriff Horton would like to thank the St. Clair County Sheriff's Office, St. Clair County Drug Unit, as well as Attalla and Leeds Police Departments for all their tireless work and help. "This was just good old fashion police work, where several agencies come together, share information and work together to solve cases," said Sheriff Horton.

State Expands Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has kicked off the statewide expansion of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting free books each month to children up to age 5. “No matter what a child grows up to be, reading proficiently is simply critical. No doubt, learning to read begins at home. Parents are our first teachers, after all,” said Governor Ivey. “It is really important that our parents start reading to our children when they’re just babies. And we must encourage our children to open books during their earliest developmental stages.” The Imagination Library of Alabama expansion will focus on finding community partners to start new Imagination Library programs to reach

more children and families, increasing registration in existing Imagination Library programs. “This program, through the state and community support, will help to eventually ensure every child in Alabama can receive books directly to their homes each month after they are born until five years of age. Since I first announced this effort during my inaugural address in January, we have worked hard to engage community partners all across our state,” continued Governor Ivey. “Our goal is to bring this program to all 67 counties, and we are well on our way to making that a reality.” As a statewide program, the goal is to establish local programs in all 67 counties, cultivating new partnerships to help fund and support local program partners. Local program

partners and affiliates must be a 501c3, which includes businesses, school districts, libraries, local foundations and others. Alabama’s program currently has 55 local program partners covering portions of Alabama’s 67 counties. Over 40,000 eligible children in the state are currently receiving free, high- quality books through these programs. “I’m so excited to help announce that my Imagination Library is coming to Alabama,” said Dolly Parton. Governor Ivey also shared her optimism in Alabama students’ drive to learn and read. “So, whether you are a nonprofit or school system, I am calling on you to join with the state in making the Dolly Parton Imagination Library available to children birth to age 5 in every corner of Alabama,” said Governor Ivey.

Two females and one male have been arrested for kidnapping and assault. According to Etowah County Sheriff Jonathon Horton, Timothy Baker, age 49, and Brandy Click, age 46, are charged with kidnapping 1st, and assault 1st. Amy Downing, 48, was charged with assault 1st. All charges are felonies according to Investigator Wesley Smith. The arrests of the subjects is in connection with an abduction and assault of a Guntersville man that occurred in the Egypt Community in late July. On the morning of July 29 the victim walked up to a residence in the Egypt Community asking for help with his hands still bound behind him. Deputies and medics responded, the victim was transported to a Gadsden area hospital and later transferred to a Birmingham hospital where he underwent surgeries for his injuries. Sheriff Horton noted that all subjects involved were acquaintances and this was not a random attack. At the time of the new release, Timothy Baker and Brandy Click were incarcerated in the Etowah County Detention Center with no bond on the kidnapping 1st charge and a bond of $50,000 each for the charge of assault 1st. Amy Downing was incarcerated in the Marshall County Jail and she will be extradited to Etowah County on the charge of assault 1st with the bond of $50,000. Kidnapping and assault arrests

A single-vehicle crash on Tuesday, August 15, has claimed the life of a Pooler, GA man. According to authorities, Kester Bruton, age 70, was fatally injured when the 2007 Volvo tractor trailer that he was driving left the roadway, struck a tree and caught fire. Bruton was pronounced deceased at the scene. The crash occurred on Interstate 59 near the 188 mile marker, approximately five miles north of Attalla, in Etowah County. Nothing further is available as Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate the incident Man Killed in accident on I-59 “Not only is this affecting citizens across the nation, this rise is also a cause for concern regarding the well- being of our law enforcement and first responders. Just recently, one of our own, ALEA Senior Trooper Charles May, came in contact with an individual who was exposed to fentanyl mixed with xylazine and has suffered health- related issues since the incident occurred. This is why we feel it is imperative to share this information with all of our partners and the public,” added Taylor. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is taking measures to warn and educate the public of an increase in the trafficking of fentanyl mixed with xylazine. Xylazine, also known as “Tranq,” is a powerful sedative that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved for veterinary use. Xylazine can be found in liquid and powder forms and can be injected, snorted, smoked or swallowed. It can be mixed with other drugs including cocaine, heroin and fentanyl. “One of the most alarming issues with the increased use of xylazine and fentanyl is the fact that xylazine is not an opioid. This means naloxone (Narcan) will not reverse its effects, placing users at a higher risk of suffering a fatal drug poisoning, commented ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor. However, experts still recommend administering naloxone if someone might be suffering a drug poisoning. People who inject drug mixtures containing xylazine also can develop severe wounds, including necrosis, which is the rotting of human tissue and could potentially lead to amputation. According to the CDC and shared in a release by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, 107,735 Americans died between August 2021 and August 2022 from drug poisonings, with 66 percent of those deaths involving synthetic opioids like fentanyl. The Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco Cartel in Mexico, using chemicals largely sourced from China, are primarily responsible for the vast majority of the fentanyl that is being trafficked in communities across the United States.

State Leaders Endorse Donald Trump United State President Donald Trump has reportedly received over a dozen endorsements from federal and statewide elected officials in Alabama. Alabama's Republican Delegation from the U.S. House of Representatives has unanimously endorsed President Trump, along with U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville. “He’s the leader America needs in 2024. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States,” Tuberville said in a statement released from Trump. Additionally, Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth, Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate, and the entire State Public Service Commission endorsed President Trump, alongside former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Cliff Sims. “Throughout the Trump presidency, gas prices were low, the economy was strong, inflation was nonexistent, the border wall was being constructed, and crime was under control. Under the Biden presidency, the exact opposite is happening across the board. Donald Trump made America great again during his first four years, and I’m confident that if given another term in the White House, he can make America great once more,” added Alabama Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth. Former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Cliff Sims added that he “was honored to serve twice in President Trump’s administration and saw firsthand how he kept America safe without starting any new wars. By establishing credible deterrence, America’s adversaries knew there would be consequences to harming our national interests. But he also rejected the military adventurism that has cost America so much blood and treasure in recent decades. President Trump’s America First approach to foreign policy, trade, manufacturing, and China are the surest path to ensuring peace and security for American families. That’s why I’m proud to endorse him again for 2024.” “President Trump's commitment to unleashing American energy dominance will drive down costs for hardworking families and make our communities safer and more secure. As President, he took production to new heights and eliminated our dependence on foreign energy. He stood strong against the radical Left's socialist agenda and his candidacy represents the surest path to Make America Great Again. We are proud to stand with President Trump and give him our full endorsement,” concluded Alabama’s entire Public Service Commission. The Alabama elected officials that reportedly have endorsed Trump to “Make America Great Again” in 2024 include: • Senator Tommy Tuberville (AL), United States Senator from Alabama • Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04), United States Representative from Alabama’s 4th Congressional District • Congressman Mike Rogers (AL-03), United States Representative from Alabama’s 3rd Congressional District • Congressman Gary Palmer (AL-06), United States Representative from Alabama’s 6th Congressional District • Congressman Jerry Carl (AL-01), United States Representative from Alabama’s 1st Congressional District • Congressman Barry Moore (AL-02), United States Representative from Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District • Congressman Dale Strong (AL-05), United States Representative from Alabama’s 5th Congressional District • Lieutenant Governor Will Ainsworth, Lieutenant Governor of Alabama • Agriculture Commissioner Rick Pate, Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries of Alabama • Public Service Commission President Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh, Alabama Public Service Commission President • Public Service Commissioner Chris "Chip” Beeker, Alabama Public Service Commissioner • Public Service Commissioner Jeremy Oden, Alabama Public Service Commissioner • Cliff Sims, Former Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Strategy and Communications Northeast Alabama Community College President Dr. David Campbell and Alabama Speaker of the House Nathaniel Ledbetter were among several industry, state, and local leaders to attend the recent groundbreaking for the college's new softball complex. The new facility will feature a 350 grandstand seat area, press box, dugouts, concession and restrooms, LED lighting, artificial playing turf, video scoreboard, lawn seating area, and gated entry.

Etowah County Media Day 2023 By Brandon K. Pierce The Sports Ledger The Etowah County High School Football Media Day was held on Tuesday, July 25, 2023 at the Civic Center in Downtown Gadsden. Several coaches and players from around the area were in attendance to speak about the upcoming season and about their respective programs. The Gaston Bulldogs were scheduled to kick off the 2023 Etowah County Media Days. However, interim coach Jesse Pruitt was unable to attend the event. Last year, Gaston finished with a 3-7 record under previous head coach Matt Harris. The wins were against Asbury, Holly Pond, and Brindlee Mountain. Gaston is set to compete in Class 2A Region 6 and the Bulldogs will kick off the 2023 season on Friday, August 25 at Asbury. Other teams attending the Etowah County Media Day were West End, Glencoe, Hokes Bluff, Coosa Christian, Southside, Etowah, Westbrook Christian, Gadsden City, Sardis and Ashville. West End coach challenges team to elevate game West End head football coach Derrick Sewell recently said that he was “happy” about his program’s 7-4 season last year, but he wants to improve upon that this fall. “With success everything becomes harder,” said Sewell during the 2023 media days. The Patriots program has had a good summer and Sewell has challenged his team to elevate their game to be better this fall. Overall, West End has about 30 players on the roster. However, the team did lose 13 Seniors from last fall. Sewell added that he will be breaking in a new quarterback and new kicker for 2023. He is also working to develop depth and he wants his team to be more consistent. He wants this year’s team to “learn to compete from the first whistle to the last horn.” West End will also need to be physical, as the program will be competing in Class 2A Region 6, which Sewell believes will be “tough” and “competitive”. “I think you have five or six teams that can really Jockey for those top four spots,” said Sewell about the Region. “We’ve got to make sure we’re ready to play in a physical ballgame.” West End is set to open the 2023 season on Friday, August 25 against Gaylesville. “We’ve got to make sure we’re ready for a fight right out of the gate,” added Sewell. Last season, West End made the first round of the state playoffs. However, that was the end of their season, as the Patriots fell to Aliceville 62-13. By Brandon K. Pierce The Sports Ledger

Etowah plans to mix up offensive play calling in 2023

By Brandon K. Pierce The Sports Ledger Southside High School has what head coach Miles Holcomb believes is “one of most talented” group of student athletes he has been around during his coaching career. Holcomb said the 2023 football team is a “great group” and that they are “fun to coach.” “I’m excited to see what this group can do,” he said. Holcomb noted that the key factors for his team are good communication and accountability. By Brandon K. Pierce The Sports Ledger Etowah High School head football coach Matt Glover is looking forward to getting back on the gridiron this fall. During the recent Etowah County Media Day, he said that his team has had a productive summer, and that the kids have “bought in” and “got stronger” in the weight room. Last year coach Glover assumed that his players knew how things should function and what roles they should have on the team. However, now that

will allow us to be a little bit better later (in the season),” said Holcomb, while also noting he hopes the coaching staff will be able to help give the players the tools they need to be successful on the gridiron and in life. “We’re just trying to get a little better at what we do,” added Holcomb, who is in his third year as head coach at Southside. “We want to control the things that we can control, day in a day out.” This fall, Southside will be competing in Class he is in his second season at the helm of the program, he said that most of his team “knows” what to expect and how he wants things done. Some of the players have “figured it out” and he believes they will be stronger and more physical this year. On the field, Glover plans to try to mix in some new things on offense and some new formations during the 2023 season. “We’re just trying to see how it goes and see what works,” he said. The Blue Devils will

still have a spread concept, but some of the new things he is working on may be a little different and a little harder to defend for opposing teams. Etowah will be competing in Class 4A Region 6, and the Blue Devils are looking to improve upon last year’s 8-4 overall record. “In Class 4A, teams run different offensives schemes, so as a coach, it makes it harder to prepare,” said Glover. “It’s a daunting task, but it’s fun,” he added.

Last fall the Glencoe High School football program finished with a 2-8 overall record that included wins over Weaver and Holly Pond. During the off-season, head coach Scott Martin said that the Yellow Jackets have been through a “total transformation.” “We went through the transfer portal within our own High School,” said Martin. The second-year head coach added that his program will have a lot of new kids on the field and fans could see up to three different quarterbacks during the season. “We had a total transformation in our secondary,” he added. Overall, Martin hopes that his program can be more like the school’s basketball team by competing with a more “up tempo” style this season on defense. “Offensively, our philosophy has not changed,” added Martin. “We will be physical.” Glencoe will be competing in Class 3A Region 6. “On paper, Sylvania would be the odds on favorite,” said Martin about his region foes this year. The Yellow Jackets will kick off the second half of the season against the Rams, on Friday October 6. However, for the first part of the year, the Yellow Jackets coach is not worried that much about other teams, but more about the consistency of his own program and how his team will perform on Friday nights. “There are no days off,” he said. Glencoe is set to open the 2023 season on Friday, September 1 against Weaver. The Yellow Jackets are also set to host Pisgah in a Jamboree on Friday, August 25.

Tj Worthy one of several returning players for Gadsden City football

By Brandon K. Pierce The Sports Ledger One of the best running backs in Class 6A football for the 2023 season will be Gadsden City’s Tj Worthy. Last fall, Worthy helped Gadsden City roll up 317 points on offense. The Titans closed out the regular season with four straight wins, that included a trip to the second round of the state playoffs, and a 7-5 record. Gadsden opened

Titans concluded the season with a 37-6 second round loss to Mountain Brook. As a sophomore last year, Worthy made several outstanding runs. The standout junior will be one of the key players returning for Gadsden City this year. Fifth year head coach Ali Smith said that Gadsden City also has “a lot of skill guys returning on offense.” The program also has at least four returning defensive starters. “We’re excited,” added Smith about the season.

Gadsden City will be competing in Class 6A Region 8, and the Titans are set to kick off the 2023 season on Friday, August 25 against Carver Montgomery at Titan Stadium. “I think that’s a great measuring stick,” said Smith about the season opener. “We like to play different type teams, with different styles.” Playing tough non- region teams should help the Titans as the season progresses into Region competition and into any

postseason Playoff games. The non-region games include Hewitt Trussville, Hartselle, Hillcrest Tuscaloosa, and Calera. Smith added that week three is when games start to really matter, because that is the first Region game of the season. The Titans open Region action at Buckhorn on Friday, September 8. Other Class 6A Region 8 opponents for the 2023 season include: Fort Payne, Hazel Green, Mae Jemison, and Lee – Huntsville.

Ashville High School recently named Kirakias Shepard as the program’s head football coach for the 2023 season. Shepard had the opportunity to join his neighboring coaches at the 2023 Etowah County Media Day, where he noted that he was still trying to get to know all the players. He said Ashville has 30 players on the 2023 roster and hopes he can double that number in the future. Shepard added the program is already getting in better physical condition, but that he still must get his players “into football shape.” Hopefully, the new coach can achieve that goal in time for the 2023 season opener, which is set for Thursday, August 24 at St. Clair County. Ashville adds new coach Under his leadership, Sylvania made it to the Class 3A high school playoffs in 2018 and 2019. The Rams also made Sweet 16 appearances in 2019 and 2021. Sylvania was also the DeKalb County Champion in 2021. In June 2021, Clark accepted the position of softball coach at Sylvania High. During his first season, the softball team was the area runner-up and made it to the regional tournament for the first time since 2014. In the 2023 season, the softball team was runners- up in DeKalb County and 3A Area 14. They also made it to the Sweet 16 during the 2023 season, making it the most successful season in the last decade. Clark earned a master’s degree in Physical Education at the University of West Alabama and a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from JSU. He is a 2012 graduate of Plainview High School in Rainsville. Clark’s official date as a Gadsden State employee was Aug. 1. He will couple his coaching duties with teaching P.E. courses at the College. “I’ve had a great experience so far at Gadsden State,” he said. “Everyone in the Athletic Department is on board for the new softball program. They are all very supportive. I really appreciate the chance to have this job.”

By Brandon K. Pierce The Sports Ledger The Sardis football program will be under new leadership this fall, as B.J. Brooks has been hired as the Lions head coach. “It’s been a good summer,” said Brooks about his first few months at Sardis. During the off season, the program renovated the locker rooms, worked to increase the number of participants, and added a new look to the football helmets. When asked about the redesigned helmet, Brooks commented that being a good person, playing well and doing things the right way, are more important than looks. “It’s all about doing what’s best for these kids,” said Brooks. “It’s my job to make sure they’re prepared.”

“I am not worried about any other team. I am worried about my team,” he added. Some of the Sardis players said at the recent Etowah County media day,

that Coach Brooks has brought more discipline and more energy to the program. In addition to energy and discipline, Brooks wants his players to be successful and believes that

faith is a key component to that. “The Lord is Awesome,” said Brooks. “I have full trust in him that he is going to put me exactly where he wants me to be.”

“I’m on team Jesus, always,” added Brooks. The Lions will be competing in Class 5A Region 7 and Sardis will open the 2023 season on August 25 at DAR.

Clark looks forward to coaching at GSCC Ryan Clark has spent

his career as a high school coach and teacher. Now, as the new head softball coach at Gadsden State Community College, he is excited about advancing to the collegiate level. “I’ve known since high school that I wanted to make a career out of sports,” he said. “I have enjoyed working as a high school coach but I’m grateful to have this opportunity to move up. It’s a big step.” On July 28, Gadsden State announced that the former baseball and softball coach at Sylvania High School would take the lead in starting the College’s new softball program. Gadsden State discontinued the program in 2016 and announced in 2022 that the program would be reinstated along with baseball. “Softball is gaining momentum in popularity across the country,” Clark said. “Softball belongs at Gadsden State. It adds value to the Athletic Department and adds to the student life offered at Gadsden State. I’m happy to be a part of bringing back the softball program.” Clark said he is going to spend the year recruiting players from the Classes of 2024 and 2025. “We are going to have to order equipment, uniforms and other things that are required of a softball team, but my main focus will be recruiting,” he said. “We have a lot of talent in Etowah and the surrounding counties.”

He said the team will start practicing in the fall of 2024 and will take the field during the Spring 2025 season. Their home field is located in the new Gadsden Sports Park behind Gadsden State’s Campus. “I’m looking for players who have the ability to perform at the collegiate level, but who also have good character,” he said. “They have to know how to positively carry themselves on and off the field. It’s important how they treat the game and how they treat others.” Clark’s experience with softball goes back to 2012, when he worked with infielders and catchers on the softball team at Snead State Community College. In 2014, he became a student assistant at Jacksonville State University, where he worked with the pitchers on the Gamecocks softball team and kept game statistics. From 2017 to 2021, Clark took the head baseball coaching position at Sylvania High, where he also taught physical education and driver’s education.
