Anniston man arrested, facing firearm and drug charges
One of the suspects was reportedly wanted in Atlanta for drug trafficking and failure to appear.
'We believe the two suspects were traveling from California to South Florida. If they chose I-65 to avoid heavy drug interdiction areas, it didn't work out for them. I could not be more proud of the officers that made this stop as well as their entire shift, our dispatchers and investigators,' said Hyche.

El Paso Police fight back vs. catalytic converter theft with VIN etching event
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso Police Department and Take 5 Oil Change are taking 'proactive steps' to protect vehicle owners from the rising threat of catalytic converter theft. To that end, they will host a Catalytic Converter Theft Prevention Event from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, July 26 at Take 5 Oil, 1341 N. Zaragoza. The event will offer vehicle owners free VIN etching services. El Paso has reported more than 800 catalytic converter thefts during the past three years, El Paso Police said. To help deter these crimes, the El Paso Police Department is providing free vehicle identification number (VIN) etching on catalytic converters. This process involves permanently marking the vehicle's VIN onto the converter, making it more difficult for thieves to sell the stolen part without proof of ownership, police said. This is a preventative measure aimed at reducing thefts and helping identify stolen property more easily, police said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
