Man Shoots Into Trailer With Children Inside; He Faces Long List Of Charges
July 28, 2008
A Flomaton man remained in jail Monday after shots were fired into a trailer near Bratt with three children inside Friday night. The children and adults in the trailer on Wawbeek Road were not injured.
Joshua Jackson Grimes , 25, of Flomaton was arrested in connection with the incident. He faces a long list of charges, including six counts of aggravated assault, two counts of battery, one count of shooting deadly missiles into a dwelling, one count of criminal mischief and one count of resisting an officer without violence. His total bond was set at $422,000.
The incident occurred in the northeast corner of Wawbeek Road north of Highway 168, just a few feet south of the Alabama state line. It all began about 6:00 Friday evening when Grimes got into a verbal altercation with the resident of the trailer, according to Sgt. Steve Smith of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department.. Deputies say he then left before returning armed with a shotgun about 6:40.
Grimes drove up to the trailer, firing several shots into the trailer busting out windows (pictured left, click to enlarge). He also shot out the windows of two vehicles according to deputies. Three children and two adults inside the trailer at the time of the shooting were not injured.
Grimes and a female friend, identified as Terri Leann Stabler, were stopped by deputies on the long driveway leading away from the residence. Grimes was taken into custody. Stabler was not charged with any crime Friday night. She was briefly taken into custody when she refused to follow orders from officers to stay away from the sheriff’s cruiser with Grimes inside, but she was later released.
Escambia County EMS responded to evaluate Grimes, who suffered a cut on his arm. He refused treatment.
The first court date for Grimes has been set for August 15.

Thank God those children were not injured. I could not imagine what they were going through and how this is going to affect them. I’m so glad he was arrested.
I am so very,very pleased that one more crimeral is off these streets. These people have gotten away with so much for so long that it’s a shame to this community.
again Thanks.
