~ School is Back in Session! ~

Falkville Police Department would like to remind everyone that school is starting back, and that means buses, crosswalks, and kids will be all around our roads!

👀 Pay Attention

‼️ Slow Down in School Zones

🛑 STOP for Buses with Flashing Red Lights

🚸 Watch for Children Crossing the Road

Let’s all do our part to keep our kids, bus drivers, and school staff safe this year. No text, phone call, or rush is worth a child’s life. Be patient, be aware, and drive responsibly.

Together, we can make this a safe and successful school year for everyone!

On the evening of 7/12/2025 a Uniformed Traffic Stop was conducted by the Falkville Police Department’s K-9 Unit on I-65 that resulted in the arrest of a male subject in possession of illegal narcotics and a firearm.

During the stop, officers detected the odor of ma*****na coming from the vehicle. A probable caused search of the vehicle led to the discovery of a large quantity of Hydrocodone pills, Suboxone strips, a firearm, a bottle of synthetic urine, and a substantial amount of U.S. currency.

The driver, Jaylon McKenzie, from Talladega, AL, was found to be out on bond for prior illegal narcotics charges in Talladega, AL.

🚨 4th of July Arrest 🚨

While most people were getting ready to celebrate the holiday with family, one individual chose to run from our K-9 unit, and it didn’t end well.

After a short pursuit, the individual decided to stop and officers discovered the following during a probable cause search:

- A quantity of methamphetamine
- Multiple drug paraphernalia items including, baggies for sale and Glass smoking pipes.
- Over $6,000 in cash
- Two fi****ms

Benjamin Stinnett, Athens, was arrested and charged with:

- Possession with the intent to distribute
- Attempting to elude

A Morgan county circuit judge set Mr. Stinnett's bond at $12,000.00 dollars.

This arrest is another reminder that illegal activity doesn’t take a holiday, and neither do we.

Great work by our officers in getting dangerous drugs and weapons off the streets. We remain committed to protecting our community, day in and day out. Happy 4th of July!
