When Officers arrived, they found a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper torso.

Morse was taken to the hospital after being involved in three different vehicle crashes. In one crash, Morse was attempting to assault pedestrians in the 800 block of Memphis Street when she crashed into a residence. After leaving the scene, Morse was involved in another crash near the intersection of Third Avenue and Pleasant Drive before leaving the scene. Morse crashed into another vehicle near Southeast Health in the 1100 block of Ross Clark Circle where the vehicle was finally disabled. Morse was taken to a local hospital after the crash.
At about 4:30 pm, Dothan Police Officers were dispatched to the 800 block of Memphis Street for reports of a suspect, described as a white female with shoulder length white hair driving a gray sport utility vehicle, attempting to run over pedestrians with her vehicle. After the suspect missed the people walking in the roadway, the female stopped her vehicle and began yelling at the pedestrians. Once past the vehicle, the pedestrians reported the female accelerated her vehicle towards them a second time. While trying to assault citizens with her vehicle, the suspect crashed into a residence after driving over the curb. One of the pedestrians recorded the encounter using a cell phone, which was shown to officers at the scene. After striking the residence, the female left the scene. No pedestrians or citizens on Memphis Street were injured.
Soon after officers arrived on Memphis Street, Dothan Communications Center received another report of a crash near the intersection of Third Avenue and Pleasant Drive that involved a gray SUV. Officers, recognizing the description of the vehicle, immediately responded to the scene. However, the female left the scene of the crash prior to officers getting on scene. A short time after this crash another crash was reported at the intersection of Haven Drive and Ross Clark Circle involving the gray SUV. Officers responded to the scene and found the vehicle with the driver, identified as Robin Morse, at the scene. The vehicle had been disabled from the third crash.
Morse was taken to a local hospital to receive treatment from the crashes. While at the hospital, Morse became disorderly with officers and nurses at the hospital. While trying to treat Morse, she kicked a nurse as well as two officers that were on scene. Morse was restrained by officers and hospital staff.
Morse has been arrested and charged with Assault 2nd degree and two counts of Harassment. More charges are pending from the earlier events and pending toxicology tests.
