LIMESTONE COUNTY, AL — A Tennessee man was arrested Saturday after allegedly opening fire on a family’s vehicle while riding a motorcycle along Interstate 65, according to the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to the scene near Mile Marker 347 after a 911 caller reported that a motorcyclist had fired multiple shots at his vehicle as he traveled northbound with his family. The gunfire struck the victim’s vehicle but did not cause any reported injuries.
A detailed suspect description was issued, and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) troopers located the individual roughly 10 miles from the scene. Limestone County deputies joined the traffic stop and identified the suspect as 30-year-old Jason Jermain Johnson of Centerville, Tennessee.
Authorities said Johnson was found with a loaded pistol, two additional loaded magazines, and a bullet-resistant vest beneath an Outcast Motorcycle Club vest. He was taken into custody without incident.
Suspect charged with attempted murder
Johnson was charged with shooting into an occupied vehicle and three counts of attempted murder. Officials confirmed that no bond has been set as of Sunday and that an Aniah’s Law hearing will be scheduled.
“This reckless violence has no place on our highways,” said Sheriff Joshua McLaughlin. “We are thankful no innocent lives were lost, and we will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners to ensure the public’s safety.”
The Sheriff’s Office credited ALEA troopers for their rapid response and cooperation during the apprehension.
The investigation remains ongoing as authorities review forensic evidence and witness accounts.
