On June 29, 2026, Dothan Police Officers responded to reports of shots fired in the area of Carver Drive and Hutchins Street. As officers arrived in the area, they were directed to a residence in the 800 block of Hutchins where the individuals involved were reported to be hiding. Officers had all occupants exit the residence, which included four juveniles under the age of 18 and two adults both age 20 years old. As officers were getting the information of all individuals during the investigation, one subject, later identified as Brandon Tyshon Scott (20) of Dothan, gave a false name to officers.
During a search of the residence, officers found a firearm in the water tank of a toilet inside the residence. The firearm was later identified as belonging to Scott. The firearm was identified as stolen from Geneva on a previous date after running the serial number. As officers were investigating the shots fired, a robbery of a person call was being handled near the intersection of East Newton Street and Price Street. According to a description of the suspect, investigators believed Scott to be the suspect of that call.
Scott was subsequently identified as the person responsible for the robbery. Scott was charged with Robbery 1st degree, Receiving Stolen Property 2nd degree for the stolen firearm, Tampering with Physical Evidence, and Obstructing Justice Using a False Identity. Scott was booked in the Houston County Jail and is being held without bond.
