By the way since all of you are drooling over the Mark Barron arrest, there has been an update.
Mobile police arrested Barron this morning at a home on Butts Street and charged him with hindering prosecution, which is a second-degree misdemeanor. Police tell News 5 Barron lied to police in an attempt to cover for his cousin who left the scene of an accident.
Someone called 911 about 5:00 a.m. to report an abandoned vehicle on I-10 at Michigan Avenue. When the officer arrived, Barron was with the car, which had hit the retaining wall. Barron told police a man he only knew as "Bull" had taken his car from Shotgun Willies, a night club in the 4100 block of Government Blvd. But during the investigation, police learned Barron's cousin, Jamal Lang, is actually the one who was driving the car at the time of the crash. Lang will be issued a citation for leaving the scene of an accident.
Barron was booked into Mobile Metro Jail around 7:30 a.m. He was released about 45 minutes later on a $500 surety bond.
The charges against him will be dropped according to the MPD. In your eyes, I'm sure this is equal to if not worse than four counts of Class C Felony Armed Robbery.
