In DC it isn't news it happens so much. When we lived in Memphis the only way a murder made the front page was for someone famous (at least locally) to be involved. Normal murders - Section B, page 6. The only other way for crime to make the front page, it had to be serial in nature.

Take a deep breath, the crime rate here is low. And be glad you aren't in Birmingham, they just hit number 8 on the most dangerous cities list.

OK , so I guess if we had more Murders as Birmingham or Memphis and if it was not one our family members ,and because it happened everday , then we just go about our bussness , and while we're at it, just unlock the doors on all the prisons and turn em all out . burn the Laws books put all the defense Attonreys out of work, unlock our doors , take all the resource officers out of our schools, no need for gaurds at our court houses , and Oh Please never the though of building another prison within the State of Alabama, We built enought 50 years ago and if some one leaving RTJ happen to get lost and turned around and in the wrong neighborhood gets robbed , murbered blame it on him the dummie shouldn't have gotten lost with $20.00 on him. Hey no worries all of this will go away .I say one Murder is to many. Do we want to wait untell it gets as bad as the big inner citys before we put the Fear of something in these Sumbags .

From my past observations of the Sheriff May and the Colbert County Sheriff’s Department, if they are already appealing to the public for help with this investigation, then I believe that it would appear they haven’t a clue as to who did it.

The media stated that all three gunmen worse mask and gloves, thus no DNA or latent prints. This is going to be a hard case to prove and even harder to prosecute. It looks like they have their work cut out for them in this one. I wish them luck.

There's more evidence than that.

Yeah that really worked. Most of the drug dealers live in tuscumbia, sheffield, etc... and transport to gate 6 and jarmon lane. The Sheriff's Department is undermaned to handle jarmon and gate 6. It is true that the rest of the county actually suffers due to this. Gate 6 is actually Muscle Shoals PD jurisdiction, but the county has to handle the residential calls in that area. Its a shame because some very good people do live in these very bad locations.


How do you know where the area drug dealers live? Muscle Shoals keeps this area very hot, but I'll say again there hasn't been any traffic on Gate Six for awhile now. This incident could have happened anywhere.


And i'll say again, that Gate 6 is not part of Muscle Shoals jurisdiction therefore they do not "keep it hot". They do not work traffic, or respond to calls on Gate 6 road/Hughes St. area. They will however back the county up on calls out there sometimes.

But yes, this incident could have happened anywhere. And yes the drug traffic has slowed down, but it has not stopped.

Sorry Crusty and Vick, I must disagree. Things like family homes being broken into and families being held at gun point with the Daddy shot and old men being beaten half to death (Florence) and old couple being tied up in the middle of the day (Sheffield) and robbed definately would make headlines even in the DC area. I agree that your run-of-the- mill drug deals gone bad (including murders) and robberies where no one is home usually don't get any attention, but it's the TYPE of crime we are seeing here recently that prompted my comment.

Your wrong, Gate 6 is in Muscle Shoals Police Jurisdiction even though it's not in the city limits, but they keep it very hot. How would I know, I work for MSPD. Ask the residents on Gate 6 who they see more the county or Muscle Shoals? I know for a fact they will answer Muscle Shoals. I've made numerous traffic stops, arrests, and answered calls on Gate 6. The drug traffic is all but non existent on Gate 6. I could sit there from 11P to 7A and only see one or two cars except for the traffic leaving Wise around midnight. Again, how would I know? It's simple because I have!

Sa-NAP! Cool

From what your saying if this murder around Gate 6 is in MSPD jurisdiction then why is Ronnie May working the investigation and not the MSPD . And if the MSPD has slowed down the drug problem in that area in the way they have, I have ask why couldn't Ronnie May do the same out in the County in the drugs areas, he sure had no problem having a Deputy at a club with all the proper licence that opened a few years ago , but let other well known places without license run wide open . Good job MSPD

Do the buisnesses in the jurisdiction not pay for our protection? The eight hours was an exaggeration. My intitial point was to show that Gate 6 isn't a crime ridden cesspool. There are alot of good people that live in that area.

Three armed robberies? What neighborhood do you live in? I belive your exaggerating now! I know and so do most citizens that the MSPD do a great job in patrolling the city to help deter crime.

If they weren't patrolling there, you would complain about that! Give it a break, there's always someone that's going to complain no matter what areas get extra attention on patrol.
B BamafnatkHall of Famer
Ok when I said Good Job MSPD , I truly was trying to say, yes if that is what it take 8 hours or 24 hours to slow down the drug traffic in any area, I dare say most areas sure would not need a partrol car if there wasn't a problem, then yes . most good hard working people are a sleep at that time, Just a patrol car in that area would slow most drugies in the early morning hours, more so if they get stoped from time to time , word would get out, hard for a drug dealers to make a sale ,if customers was scared to chance coming and going.

If you are truly a MS policeman, then you need to quit. If you don't know that Avalon Express has been robbed at gunpoint twice along with a nearby consignment shop, then you are obviously incompetent to be a police officer in Muscle Shoals which would explain why you would be hanging out on Gate 6 road for 8 hours while my neighborhood is left unprotected. I will say however, I really believe in the MSPD. Overall, they do an excellent, thankless job, but if there is an officer devoting that kind of time to Gate 6 road, then as one who pays property taxes in Muscle Shoals, I have a real problem with that! Especially when that officer is completely unaware of 3 armed robberies in my neighborhood.

I know that Avalon Express has been robbed along with the consignment shop so your attempts at an insult are obsolete and unjust. There hasn't been a robbery in your neighborhood in several weeks and they all occured on a shift other than what I work. I have a duty to protect and serve the jurisdiction and not just your particular neighborhood. I do my job well, so I wouldn't worry about me. I've patrolled and answered calls in your neigborhood many nights while you slept in your bed. I will be doing the same tonight, and like I said I could care less if you like it or not! Oh yeah, your welcome!

You didn't get any thanks from me, so "you're welcome" is not warranted. I'm impressed that you were able to look up the fact that there have been 3 armed robberies in my neighborhood, while you were out patrolling in the county. You should have known this without having to take the time to look it up. The people in the county do not pay city taxes plain and simple, and they do not pay your salary. Me along with the other good citizens and property owners of Muscle Shoals pay your salary ( I still have doubts you are actually a police officer in MS). Also, what difference does it make if it occurred on your shift. That sounds to me like you are trying to blame someone else. I don't think a real MS police officer would do that to his fellow officers. The fact is that 3 armed robberies occurring in one year are too many for a quiet neighborhood such as this. I cannot and do not lay blame on the MSPD for these robberies regardless of what shift they occurred on, but it really irks me to know that a MS police officer would be patrolling the county while these events are going on inside the city limits. I am a taxpayer, and I have the right to be upset about this whether you like it or not. I am equally not impressed about you supposedly answering calls in my neighborhood while I slept. That is what you are paid to do (by the taxpayers of MS city), It still does not justify spending 8,6,4, or even 1 hour patrolling outside of the city. I have the utmost respect for the fine policemen & women in Muscle Shoals, but I will never agree to them doing routine patrols outside the city limits while my neighborhood is being robbed at gunpoint.

I'll put this as simple as I can for you again, ok! I don't care what you think, and your opinion doesn't really matter. It's people like you that that I have no respect for, and never will in my lifetime. I'm not trying to blame anyone for the robberies in your neighborhood. However, you made reference that the robberies occurred because I was patrolling in the Muscle Shoals police jurisdiction instead of your neighborhood. That's as ridiculous as the rest of your posts! You say you have the utmost respect for the fine men and women of the Muscle Shoals Police Department. It's appartent that is a far from the truth after your attacks on my character and my ability to do my job correctly. I'm telling you right now what you can do with your so called respect, and I believe you know where you can put it. There are many good citizens in Muscle Shoals, but from what you have showed me your not one of them.

Since you've chosen to identify yourself as a Muscle Shoals Police officer, would you mind terribly telling us which one?

And thanks for taking the time to make clear the views of the department you claim to represent.

I don't know you, so I was not making a personal attack on you for making patrols out of the city. What bothered me the most is that you had no knowledge of 3 major crimes within a block of each other, all the while talking about watching Gate 6 road for 8 hours (or however long it was).

I never said I didn't know about the robberies. I questioned the time frame you put them? There hasn't been one in sometime. The last being the consignment shop which occurred a couple of months ago. The two at Avalon Express happened well before that time frame, and actually one wasn't an armed robbery but a snatch and grab. Do you have any more questions or attacks against my character? I KNOW HOW TO DO MY JOB!

My opinion or veiws toward someone who attacks my character are just that, Mine! They have nothing to do with department I represent especially when I am not at work and expressing my opinion on a public forum. Would you mind telling me your name?

Don't worry smooth operator you can find your police department at the local waffle house or the local jacks enjoying a cup of coffe.The reason that there are so many robberies in the city of muscle shoals is because they patrol the highway and ares outside there city limits.It may be your jurisdiction but if you are not going to respond to a call for help from a homeowner on that road you dont need to be out there stopping cars.Just look at the police reports in the Times Daily every week and see how many theft of property reports the city of Muscle Shoals has way too many considering the small area and number of officers.

First of all, you don't have to personally know someone to make a personal attack. Actually Crimson is right. If you really want to know when the events occurred, go by the Police Department and find out. I know for a fact the events you are talking about occurred several months ago, not recently. It was in the paper and news. If you see anything out of the ordinary in your neighborhood don't hesitate to call the PD. All it takes is a concerned citizen that actually pays attention to their neighborhood to stop criminals and make a difference. No, the police aren't going to be in every area of the city at the right time. However, it doesn't take them long to get there and most criminals can be caught (but then people would complain if the police had to chase them to get them to stop.) People are going to complain no matter what. You all say you have "respect" but you are not showing an officer on this forum any respect at all.

This may be the fault of the 911 dispatch. When I lived just outside the city limits of a small rural town, but in their jurisdiction, I had to call 911 about an intruder. The dispatch called Lauderdale County instead.

BTW, I didn't know there had been two robberies at the Avalon Express (I knew of one). I stop there sometimes since I often use that bank. I also know an older person who lives fairly close, so this worries me. Any details?
BellaSwanBellaSwanHall of Famer
FV, this was several months ago, there haven't been any problems in that area since. I live not far from there as well. If she feels uncomfortable staying alone, she should call the PD and request an extra patrol anytime. Also if anyone feels frightened or hears something outside at night, don't hesitate in dialing 911 if you have to.

I find your post entertaining but far from the truth. Can you tell me how many officers work per shift? Can you tell me the city limit boundaries for Muscle Shoals? I don't think you can answer any of those questions without researching it. I believe there are far more criminals in this area than police officers. I take it you hold a grudge against the police for whatever reason.
L lawncuttinSmall Talker
The reason 911 dispatches the county in situations like that is because the city does not answer residential calls in the police jurisdiction only to a business that way they can charge them for police and fire protection.But they don't have a problem stopping you for a traffic violation but don't call them for help.And as far as the robberies in the city of Muscle Shoals they had several around the same time and they were not that long ago.It is really bad when one of them was right across the street from the police department,and they stil could not catch them.As far as the sheriffs offfice is concerned they have the entire county to cover not just a few square miles with just a few officers.

You didn't answer anything but only showed your ignorance.
B BamafnatkHall of Famer
I for one , could not do , what our Patrol Officers do from any Department. And a Big thanks to them . And thanks to the Dispatchers, they are the Officers Lifeline , and have to make decisions and pass that on to the officers, some border line area from most all areas of who's department should be called, I hear it on our Scanner offten from each of the dispatchers and even some officers not sure when it is a close call and yes maybe some honest Mistakes made . And as to why MSPD covers that area , I am sure the Offericers are told where the line is . If anyone has a big Problem ,go to MSPD or your City Council Meeting and ask that quesstion . No I do not know any of these Officers . But fussing , and pointing fingers on a Forum is not the answer. lol just my Opinion. This a sad , very horrible thing that has happened , to this family. They will need Love, support and understanding for a long time to come, I just hope they catch , arrest and Convict who ever , for what ever the reason.

Thank you! Why shouldn't I patrol the jurisdiction when my city recieves revenue from the business in that area? I am sworn to enforce all federal, state, and municipal laws. If I see someone commit a violation, I am sworn to enforce that law and doesn't matter if that occurs in the city limits or jurisdiction!
