(DOTHAN, Ala.) On May 26, 2025 at 6:00 pm, Dothan Police responded to reports of a robbery of a person in the 2900 block of Saint Peter Street near Ross Clark Circle.  It was reported to investigators, while the victim was visiting an acquaintance and seated in the vehicle, a person entered the passenger side of the vehicle.  The suspect pulled a firearm and demanded property.  During the robbery, it was reported three other individuals came from a residence in the 2900 block of Saint Peter Street to aid in the robbery also armed with firearms.  After the robbery, the four suspects went into a residence.  Due to the quick response from patrol officers, the residence was surrounded.  Once people were removed from the residence, the four suspects were identified as Malachi Ray (19) of Columbia, AL, Dallas Porter (18) of Dothan, Camron Jackson of Dothan, and a juvenile under the age of 18 years old.

All suspects were charged with robbery 1^st degree and placed in the Houston County Jail.  The juvenile, due to the nature and seriousness of the charge, is being charged as an adult.  However, Alabama privacy laws prevent the identification of the juvenile.  This dangerous conduct will have serious consequences.  People who commit this type of crime will be found and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.
