Street Sign Murder

A Baldwin County teenager accused of throwing a street sign at a car and killing the driver is free on bond. State troopers charged 19-year old Jonathan Hadley with murder Saturday. Troopers say Hadley pulled a street sign out of the ground then threw it at an coming car on County Road 55 near Foley.

"He threw the sign at the vehicle, puncturing the front windshield, striking the driver in the head and killing him," says Cpl. Steve Smith with the Alabama State Troopers. "It doesn't get much more serious than murder."

Smith identified the victim as 20-year old Jose Galiana.

People living near the crime scene can't believe it.

"We usually don't have trouble in this community, it's usually a pretty quiet bedroom community," says Jack Smith. "It's a terrible tragedy, a young person like that, two of them, one is dead, another is going to prison."

Troopers say they do not have a motive. Hadley's father, Albert Hadley, was charged with filing a false police report.
