Person carrying replica destructive device arrested

On April 29, 2025, officers with the Dothan Police Department responded to the area of the 200 block of East Main Street after multiple citizens reported a person carrying a rocket propelled grenade launcher in the area.

Officers contacted the individual and identified him as Keyun Marquez Hill, 26, of Cowarts, Alabama. Hill was found in possession of a replica device made to resemble a rocket propelled grenade launcher. Hill was subsequently arrested and charged with one count of Possession of a Hoax Destructive Device and booked into the Dothan City Jail. The hoax device was seized and placed into evidence.

Hill described himself as a social media prankster and was in the process of filming content. Entertainment takes many forms, however behavior such as this that alarms numerous people and can cause panic in a public space cannot be tolerated. We urge social media content creators to use common sense when practicing their craft.

Dothan Man Charged After He Drives Off with Victim’s Child in Backseat

(DOTHAN, Ala.) On April 16, 2025, Dothan Police investigators charged Isaiah Jamal Turner (32 years old) of Dothan with Interference with Custody after driving off with the victim’s child in the back seat. The charges stem from an altercation between Turner and the victim when Turner made sexual advances, which were unwanted and rejected. The victim, feeling uncomfortable, asked Turner to stop the vehicle. When the vehicle stopped in the 100 block of Westgate, the victim tried to get her child. Turner locked the doors and drove away. Turner has been charged with one count of Interference with Custody and placed in the Houston County Jail.

Dothan Police officers responded to a business in the 100 block of Westgate Parkway in reference to a disturbance. Officer met with the victim and they told the officers they were riding with Turner to a doctor’s appointment. Turner made sexual advances toward the victim, which she did not want. After being rejected, the victim asked Turner to let them out of the vehicle. After several requests, Turner stopped and the victim got out of the vehicle. As the victim was trying to get a child out of the backseat, Turner locked the doors and drove away from the scene. In phone calls to Turner, he refused to return the child.

As officers were taking information and preparing to issue alerts for the child, an officer noticed a vehicle looking like Turner’s at the Dothan City Jail. The driver was identified as Turner and he had the child, who is under the age of two, in his vehicle. Turner was taken into custody since he was in no way related to the child and had no legal basis for taking the child. As a result, Turner was charged with Interference with Custody. The child was reunited with the victim.

Grace Bridges Murder Solved; Suspect in Custody after 15 years

(DOTHAN, Ala.) On March 17, 2010, Dothan Police Officers responded to Dedert’s Furniture Store at 966 South Park Avenue for reports of a person suffering a medical event. When officers arrived, they realized the victim, who was identified as Grace Bell Bridges, was suffering from a single gunshot wound. Tragically, Grace Bridges was pronounced deceased at the scene. The investigation led investigators in 2010 to believe the motive was an attempted robbery that led to the death of Bridges. Unfortunately, the case went unsolved for more than 15 years despite some promising leads.

No murder case that is unsolved is ever closed. Cold cases are regularly reviewed as technology evolves and new investigators are assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division. Investigators, armed with a fresh perspective, went over the evidence and reinterviewed witnesses as a part of the review for this case. After the review, investigators felt they had enough evidence to seek an indictment of the person they believed was responsible for the crime. In consultation with the District Attorney’s Office and District Attorney Russ Goodman, investigators presented their evidence to a Houston County Grand Jury. On April 9, 2025, the Houston County Grand Jury returned an indictment on the suspect, a 32 year old male who was 17 at the time of the crime, for the murder of Grace Bridges. The subject was taken into custody on the outstanding murder indictment on April 9, 2025 and placed in the Houston County Jail. Since the offender was under 18 at the time of the crime, Alabama Juvenile Privacy laws prohibit releasing any other information.

While the case had gone unsolved, investigators never gave up in trying to identify Grace Bridges’ killer and bring them to justice. It is our hope that Grace Bridges’ family can finally feel some semblance of peace knowing her killer has been identified and charged even though we know nothing can bring Grace back. The unwavering determination of investigators in 2010 as well as the investigators who obtained the indictment is a testament to their relentless pursuit of justice to identify those responsible for the death of Grace Bridges and bring them to justice for her family. Our thoughts are with Grace Bridges’ family as they move to the next chapter in their search for justice for Grace’s death.

The Dothan Police Department extends our deepest gratitude to the numerous witnesses who came forward from 2010 to 2025 and to Grace Bridges’ family for their steadfast commitment to justice and support of the Dothan Police Department.

-Chief Will Benny
