Top of the chart: Warrants & holds. Every booking at the Baldwin County jail that week, sorted by its most serious-sounding booked charge; a booking with several charges counts once. Immigration detainers are not crimes and are left out. City police in Daphne, Fairhope and other towns run their own jails, so many city arrests never reach this count. Booked charges are what officers listed at arrest, not what prosecutors file.

Unsolved: man shot behind Foley bar

Baldwin County Sheriff

The sheriff's office says a 35-year-old man drove himself to Baldwin Health around 3 a.m. on Oct. 18 with several gunshot wounds and was flown to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. He could not identify who shot him, the sheriff's office says, and said only that it happened in Foley.

Foley officers helped find a scene in the rear parking lot of Good Time Charley's off Highway 98. Surveillance video was not clear enough to identify anyone. The man is in stable condition and expected to recover. No arrest has been announced; the sheriff's office asks anyone with information to come forward.
