The APD was called to the scene at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday. Two people were injured as a result of both the altercation and shots fired during the altercation. The altercation occurred after a disagreement that occurred inside the bar escalated to a fight outdoors.

Christina Laorraine Johnson, 40, of Andalusia, was charged with Assault I, a Class B felony, and disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and has been released on a $20,500 bond.

The APD also has misdemeanor arrest warrants for:

• Takia Jolie Stoudemire, 19, of Andalusia, who is charged with Assault III, and will have a $1,000 cash bond.
• Kalesha Aledonya Hill, 47, of Andalusia, charged with Assault III and Disorderly Conduct, and will have a $2,000 cash bond.
• Annette Star Moody, 38, of Opp, charged with Assault III and Disorderly Conduct, and will have a $2,000 cash bond.
• Courtney Pierre Hill 37, of Andalusia, who is charged with Assault III, Inciting a Riot, and Disorderly Conduct, and will have a $3,000 cash bond.

Stoudemire, Kalesha Hill, Moody, and Courtney Hill have been notified of the outstanding warrants are expected to turn themselves in.

Police Chief Paul Hudson said there were dozens of people at the scene when the APD responded Sunday morning, which is one reason the arrests took so long.

“We had to interview a number of witnesses and reconcile their stories with video evidence of the altercation,” Hudson said. “That took time.”

Hudson said the APD will not tolerate this behavior.

“We will be patrolling the area to make sure we don’t continue to have these kinds of problems.”

Hudson expressed his appreciation to Off the Trax owner Seth Stewart, the Covington County Sheriff’s Department, and the Covington County E911 for their assistance in the response and investigation.
