MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - The Alabama Democratic Party is calling for an investigation into Secretary of State John Merrill’s alleged misuse of state resources to facilitate a reported extramarital affair.
“We’ve been clear, John Merrill’s personal life is just that - personal,” said ADP Executive Director Wade F. Perry. “But what is not personal is access to state resources like a state vehicle, state cell phone, and any other taxpayer funded benefits of being Alabama’s Secretary of State.”
Members of the Tuscaloosa Police Department joined Mayor Walt Maddox, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and other local leaders Tuesday to honor the family of Investigator Dornell Cousette, a TPD officer who was killed in the line of duty in September 2019.
Cousette was serving a warrant on a suspect, Luther Bernard Watkins, Jr., which led him into Watkins apartment, where they reportedly exchanged gunfire. Cousette was shot and succumbed to his wounds at DCH Regional Medical Center shortly after. Dornell was quiet around the department, so he didn t really stand out, but I assure you the work he did changed countless lives, said Mitt Tubbs, who was acting chief of police when Cousette was killed.
