Atmore woman accused of firing weapon into two occupied vehicles and one unoccupied
An Atmore woman has been charged with two counts of attempted murder and one count of criminal mischief II for allegedly shooting into two occupied vehicles and one unoccupied vehicle.
Samantha Lynette Dixon, 22, 507 5th Ave., was arrested following the shootings on Dec. 5.
She isa accused of firing a weapon multiple times into a vehicle occupied by Mercedes Hall and also firing a weapon into a vehicle occupied by Kevin Owens, striking Owens' vehicle three times. She is also accused of firing a weapon into the driver's side door of an unoccupied vehicle owned by Reynelda R. Crenshaw.
During a bond hearing last Thursday, Dixon told Circuit Judge Todd Stearns she had already hired Mobile attorney Jim Byrd to represent her. She also told the judge she was not on probation or out on bond at the time.
Stearns told Dixon she was facing very serious charges that carry a possible sentence of life in prison and the fact that a firearm was used any minimum sentence would be enhanced.
Stearns set her bond at $100,000 and stated she is not to have any contact with the victims.
