Good morning, Mobile.

A judge in Mobile ordered 30 of the 34 dogs seized from a home on Carter Avenue in Trinity Gardens returned to owner Marquis Nodd, who faces 118 animal abuse charges, and required him to ensure the dogs are vaccinated and cared for while the city monitors them for one year—four will remain with animal services—raising concerns over their future care.

One person was hurt in a shooting Friday night in Citronelle when a fight near the Jr. Food Mart on US 45 and State Street turned violent — the victim was taken to a Mobile hospital and the shooter is cooperating with investigators after aiding until first responders arrived.

The Mobile Police Department is seeking help to locate 85-year-old Charles Edward Dale—he was last seen driving a white 2011 Buick sedan with Missouri tags and has a medical condition that needs immediate attention.

Columnist Sean Dietrich wrote a reflective piece celebrating a care package from Miss Paula that included Slocomb tomatoes and homemade jams with handwritten labels.

He explains that each tomato stands for the hard work and faith of local farmers—linking their effort to the town’s unique traditions.

On Friday, the DOJ announced it opposed federal preclearance oversight of Alabama’s redistricting and stated that current remedial orders secure compliance through the 2030 Census—Alabama continues defending its 2023 congressional map amid ongoing litigation after a federal panel ruled it violated Voting Rights laws.
