BREAKING NEWS

William Kidd, who was wanted by Prichard police, U.S. Marshals and the FBI for murder, attempted murder and numerous carjackings, is in custody.

Prichard Police spokesperson LaToya Veal says Kidd was arrested early Saturday morning. She says Kidd checked himself into Providence Hospital after being shot in the side. Veal says he was treated, released from medical care and is now in custody. Veal says Kidd was not shot by law enforcement but couldn’t give further details.

Kidd was wanted for killing William "Red" Hampton July 2 at a home on North Joseph Street. Three days later, police say Kidd returned to the same house and fired shots at Hampton's family. Kidd is also accused in a shooting Sunday evening at a house on Atmore Avenue and numerous carjackings. Chief Lawrence Battiste said Kidd "ranks up there at the top of my chart in my four years as a chief here as one of our most violent offenders."

Kidd was booked into Mobile Metro Jail at 5:20 a.m. on seven charges including murder, attempted murder, and possesion of marijuana.

Prichard Police and other agencies will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. to talk about the arrest.

And even if they don’t they will fraudulently claim that they do.
Bla, Bla, Bla They should keep it to themselves.
Nobody really gives a Damn.
(Inside joke, but true).

I guess as Alicia would say-some people just want everything.

Well, I just have a beef with that! I guess they can’t blame it on the alcohol,though.

Good luck taking their “pork” away. That’s the agenda, “PORK”.
Chops, Ribs, loins or pulled.
It Don’t Matter None!

I thought that was part of the agenda-to get rid of free enterprise?

The “Man” has held him back from getting a job and doing good. Oops, I forgot, the “Man” is a brother now.

Wait until the fallout from the seizure of the 1/2 ton of cocaine at the Port Of New Orleans yesterday (10 million street value). These dope dealers are going to be hard up for cash. Damn the DEA and Coast Guard for costing these people their dealing jobs. More Government interference.

I hope they had a Warrent. I wonder if he will get death by Poison? (if convicted of course)

Yes, this Sting was totally uncalled for. I am sure he is just misunderstood.

He looks like a nice young man to me. I mean he is presumed innocent until proven guilty. He should be let out on his own recognizance if he promises not to hunt down and murder any witnesses before trial. See what all kinds of problems these cops have created by arresting this guy. How do you spell Alicia Keys?
