A Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office deputy was able to quickly locate the suspect vehicle and conduct a traffic stop, leading to the detention of the driver until Alabama Department of Corrections investigators could continue their investigation.

This case highlights the strong working relationship between local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies and demonstrates how cooperation and communication help keep our communities safe.

We commend our deputy for his alertness, professionalism, and swift response, which played a key role in bringing this incident to a successful conclusion.

Great job by everyone involved.
