Woman Charged with Aggravated Child Abuse; Child in Serious Condition

(DOTHAN, Ala.) On July 9, 2025, at about 1:30 am, Dothan Police Officers were notified by a local hospital that a child under the age of 5 was being prepared for surgery with suspicious injuries. The healthcare worker informed officers that the child had bruises over most of their body and significant bruising on the child’s face. Initially, the suspect identified as Selena Cheyanna Smith (24) of Dothan, claimed the child was running around the residence on Jimmie Lane, fell, and struck the side of their head on a table. The injuries, according to healthcare workers and investigators, did not match the story given. An investigation was launched to determine the circumstances.

Shortly after the investigation began, Smith admitted to causing the injuries. According to investigators, Smith was attempting to discipline the child, grew frustrated, and threw the child to the ground where the child struck their head on the floor. The incident caused the child’s brain to swell from the blunt trauma, which was life-threatening. The child has since been transferred to a different hospital for further treatment. The child is listed in serious but stable condition. Smith has been charged with one count of Aggravated Child Abuse in Dale County. Smith was transported to the Dale County Jail and being held without bond.

Teen Defends Family Member from Domestic Violence: Shoots Offender

(DOTHAN, Ala.)

On June 30, 2025, just after 5:00 am, Dothan Police responded to reports of a person shot at an apartment in the 700 block of Alabama Avenue. When officers arrived, they started life-saving measures on the male with a gunshot wound. After a short period, it was determined the person who was shot was deceased. The person was identified as Johnny Oliver (28) of Dothan. A homicide investigation immediately began to determine the circumstances of the shooting.

During the investigation, it was revealed that Oliver was engaged in an assault on a person inside the apartment just prior to the shooting. As Oliver continued to assault a female in the apartment, the firearm, brought by Oliver, was obtained by a juvenile under the age of 18. After several demands by the juvenile to stop the assault, the juvenile fired a single round that struck Oliver in the upper torso. The explanation of the shooting was corroborated by both witnesses on scene as well as video surveillance.

After consultation with the Houston/Henry County District Attorney, Russ Goodman, the case will be forwarded to his office for review. Criminal charges are not expected at this time. The belief among investigators and the District Attorney’s Office was that the juvenile was acting in defense of a person, which is a legal defense allowed by law. The case will remain open until a final decision is made by the District Attorney’s Office.
