DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — A man who once admitted to killing another Dothan resident is back in jail after a new arrest this week, according to sources familiar with the case.
Authorities say 29-year-old Tayshawn Malik Stevenson was taken into custody on charges of attempting to elude, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest. Officers booked him into the Dothan City Jail on Wednesday morning after what’s been described as a brief pursuit.
Stevenson is the same man who previously pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2019 shooting death of 27-year-old Akheem Benjamin Hall. Court records show he received a 15-year sentence, with three years to serve and the remaining time on probation.
Prosecutors in Houston County are now reviewing the case to determine whether Stevenson’s latest arrest could send him back to state prison to serve the remainder of that sentence.
No additional details about the chase or arrest have been released. The case remains under review.
