PRESS RELEASE – Monday, Nov. 20, Dade County Deputies were notified that Fort Payne PD and DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office were in pursuit of a “hit and run” suspect out of Fort Payne.

“This is just another example of Dade County Law Enforcement working with multiple agencies across state lines. Most criminals know better than to flee through Dade County, because the chase seldom makes it out of our jurisdiction. I am very proud of our Deputies, as well as the officers at Trenton PD.” -Sheriff Ray Cross
