Comments on: Shot Walnut Hill Burglary Suspect Facing More Charges In Alabama http://www.northescambia.com/2013/05/shot-walnut-hill-burglary-suspect-facing-more-charges-in-alabama Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:50:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Huie Green http://www.northescambia.com/2013/05/shot-walnut-hill-burglary-suspect-facing-more-charges-in-alabama/comment-page-1#comment-207304 David Huie Green Thu, 30 May 2013 02:32:50 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=140185#comment-207304 REGARDING: “after his release he fled to Alabama and arrested may 21 – then back to Florida to face charges – WHY WAS HE RELEASED ??????????????? When he was released why didn’t he go to jail in FLORIDA ?????????????" I agree it’s a bit confusing, but in general, a person who has to go to the hospital is not arrested at that time lest the sheriff have to pay for the medical bills. Release is decided by the medical folks, not the law enforcement folks, so that would explain why he wouldn‘t go to jail when medically released. Improved communications would reduce this problem, but most likely the doctors, nurses, deputies are too busy to keep up, especially since they all have hundreds of other things to do too. Life is complicated. David for sharing information REGARDING:

I don't think she was implying that a .38 revolver could shoot .357 rounds. Just that the guy was lucky the home owner didn't have a larger caliber weapon. What the guy is REALLY lucky for is that the home owner wasn't trained in firearms in the military. I know that MY training told me that if you are firing a hand gun at close range at a human being, you shoot to kill, NOT wound. You put two rounds center mass, and for good measure, one to the head. @me

A .357 revolver will shoot a .38 caliber round but not the other way around. To 429SCJ :

I wonder how the victim got mixed up with those two? .38, it could have been a .357.
