On October 12, 2026, just after 9:00 pm, a Dothan Police Officer observed a vehicle commit a traffic infraction on Honeysuckle Road near the Wells Fargo building. The officer activated his lights to initiate a traffic stop, but the driver failed to pull over. The vehicle attempted to elude the officer for about 3 miles before stopping in a parking lot in the 1300 block of Fortner Street. During the incident, the officer observed a small bag thrown from the vehicle as speeds reached 55 miles per hour. An officer quickly located the bag and determined it contained marijuana.
As officers were giving commands to the driver to exit the vehicle, another vehicle pulled up with a female who began obstructing the officers from getting the driver to safely exit the vehicle. The female, identified as Daphney Arpreatrae McCray (49) of Dothan, had to be restrained when she began actively resisting the officers’ attempt to detain her. Once the female was detained, the male, identified as Jakorey Keshaun Corbitt (27) of Dothan, exited the vehicle and was taken into custody. During a search of the vehicle, officers found a Glock handgun in the vehicle. It was later revealed the McCray was the mother of Corbitt.
Corbitt was charged with one felony count of Attempting to Elude a Law Enforcement Officer, Possession of Marijuana 2nd degree, and Tampering with Physical Evidence. McCray was charged with Obstructing Governmental Operations and Resisting Arrest. Corbitt was booked into the Houston County Jail, and McCray was booked into the Dothan City Jail.
