• A Cullman woman is currently being held without bond in the Cullman County Detention Center after police said she accidentally shot her husband while trying to shoot someone else. The injury was the result of a road rage episode that began 6:45 p.m. Saturday on Alabama 69 in Dodge City and ended at a home on County Road 160 in Bremen. While trying to shoot the other party, Erica Cole shot her husband and the bullet struck him in the head, though he is now in stable condition.

According to authorities, the victim may have been a friend of the suspect’s wife. After the incident, other men at the scene “jumped on” Thome to subdue him. He was arrested and booked into the Madison County Jail around 3 a.m. Saturday.
