JACKSON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — A man was arrested in Tennessee after officials say an argument in Jackson County led to a shooting and robbery on Thursday, April 25th.

According to Jackson County Sheriff Rocky Harnen, Jonathan Powell shot a female family member after an argument in Jackson County. After the shooting, Harnen said Powell pointed a gun at a family member and stole their vehicle.

The sheriff says Powell then drove to Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, where he was arrested on unrelated theft charges the same day as the shooting.

According to Harnen, once Powell is brought back to Jackson County, he will be charged with warrants for attempted murder and first-degree robbery.

The woman who authorities say was shot during the argument was taken to the hospital, and her condition is unknown at this time.
