An Atmore man who was located by U.S. Marshals in April on felony warrants has received new criminal charges of attempted murder and two counts of discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling, according to officials.
Atmore Police Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Darrell McMann said in a release that investigators received the results of ballistics testing, and were able to connect Isaiah Finney, 22, to two alleged shootings in Atmore in September 2023 and April 2024.
McMann said Finney is currently being held at the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton.
According to Advance archives, McMann said in a release in April that Finney had arrest warrants for discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, certain persons forbidden to possess firearms, attempting to elude a police officer and possession of marijuana II.
McMann said the alleged incidents occurred in Atmore in September and November 2023, after which, Finney left the Atmore area and was tracked by the U.S. Marshals as he made his way back here.
“Investigators developed Finney as the offender of an incident in which he discharged a firearm at an occupied vehicle and another incident in which he fled from a vehicle while officers were investigating a shots fired complaint,” McMann said. “Officers recovered firearms from the vehicle as well as other evidence.”
