FLORENCE– Police are searching for a person of interest (POI) in a Saturday night shooting.
According to police at approximately 9:30 pm officers with the Florence Police Department and Deputies with the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Department responded to a Shots Fired call at the Brass Monkey night club on Darby Drive.
Eyewitnesses tell ShoalsInsider.com the POI became angered when bar employees refused him entry until he pulled his pants up as the bar does not allow customers to wear sagging pants. The argument reportedly escalated into a shooting.
