Atmore police announced last week that a Flomaton man, who was being sought as the second suspect in a May 21 incident in which more than two dozen shots were fired at and into a vehicle here, was arrested May 24 during a traffic stop in Flomaton.
Terry Clark, 24, was the subject of arrest warrants for attempted murder and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
Flomaton PD investigators reportedly stopped the vehicle in which Clark was riding and took him into custody without incident.
Clark and James Antonio Johnson of Atmore, also 24, are believed to be the individuals who fired 27 rounds from two different-caliber weapons into a vehicle that was traveling in the area of Sowell Avenue and Trout Street around 7 p.m. on May 21. No injuries were reported.
The Flomaton man was booked into the Escambia County Detention Center, where he remained Monday afternoon, June 2. He and Johnson are each charged with one count of attempted murder and one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
Johnson, who tried to shake police immediately after the shots were fired, was reportedly clocked at more than 100 mph as he raced up Carver Avenue before abandoning his vehicle, bringing an additional charge of felony attempting to elude law enforcement.
He surrendered to city police the morning after members of APD’s Special Response Team executed a search warrant at a residence in northeast Atmore but didn’t find him.
