FLORENCE– Lauderdale County authorities have arrested a 23- year-old who led police on a high-speed chase through three counties.
Deputies with the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department arrested Quinton Marlow Keel, who apparently fled a court ordered rehab from a 2020 drug case in Lauderdale County.
Police say Keel was in a stolen car. The chase reportedly started in Lawrence County and progressed through Colbert into Lauderdale county into the city of Florence.
Keel was arrested at the intersection of Pine Street and Court Street.
According to authorities, Keel is being held in the Lauderdale County Detention Center without bond on two alias warrants. He is now facing possible escape charges and theft of property charges and a possession of methamphetamine charge, not to mention resisting arrest.

LEIGHTON/BRICK HATTON – Two Ohio residents lost their lives in a single vehicle crash on Second Street Tuesday night.
The crash occurred around 7:00 p.m.
The driver and passenger of a 2008 Ford Focus, who were from Cincinnati, Ohio, were killed when their vehicle left the roadway and struck a tree on the driver’s side.
State Troopers say excessive speed was a factor in the crash.
The crash occurred on AL.184/ 2nd Street in Colbert County approximately 3 miles east of Muscle Shoals.
Both occupants of the vehicle were pronounced dead on the scene by Colbert County Deputy Coroner Matt Moore.
The names of the victims will not be released until the next of kin are notified.

A millennium is a 1000-year period of time. Between the Second Coming of Jesus which will end this evil age and the creation of the New Heaven and New Earth, that time of universal peace on earth will be sandwiched in. It will be the same terrestrial globe we are now living on before it is renovated, but it will not be in the same condition as now; for the curse will be lifted. Which means there will be no sickness, poverty, pain or untimely death during that time—for those who do not rebel. But, the fact that we resurrected saints under Christ will rule with a “rod of iron” those survivors of the Battle of Armageddon implies that some during that thousand-year slice of eternity will not right-up-front willingly fit in with the absolute rule of that Total Theocracy—God rule.
The Shoals area now has a super-sized liquor store on 2nd Street in Muscle Shoals.

That next verse is Revelation 19:20. First, the Antichrist and his false prophet, who will deceive with his false miracles those who receive the mark of the beast, and those who worship that image the false prophet will have made of the beast—Antichrist—will be captured and cast alive into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. Will angels handle that chore, or will Christ Himself do the honors? Consider Matthew 10:28.
CENTER STAR- A physician who had a clinic in Center Star has had her license revoked and owes a $60,000 fine after an Alabama Board of Medical Examiners say she committed fraud and overprescribed controlled substances.
WILSON LAKE- A lot of folks in the Shoals area have been spending time on the water here lately with the Covid-19 Coronavirus. Two big fish were caught over the weekend on Wilson Lake, one by a Russellville man and the other by Tuscumbia Attorney, William Hovater.
Revelation 19:13 tells us that White-Horse-Rider was clothed with a robe dipped in blood. That was not His blood, but the blood of all those slain with that double-edged sword coming out of His mouth (verse 15). Christ’s blood has already been deposited on the altar of the heavenly Holy of Holies (Hebrews 9:12). Isaiah 63:3 prophesied that very event and identifies the blood that will stain Christ’s robe in that battle. In the same verse, the White-Horse-Rider is identified as the Word of God. Our Lord was known as the Word of God before He became flesh (John 1:1, 14, 1 John 5:7), and maintains that same title in Revelation. Christ’s manhood did not alter his Godhood.
