Man recovering after stabbing

FLORENCE — A local man is in fair condition at Huntsville Hospital after he was stabbed Monday night, officials said.

Police said Willie Armer, 51, 606 Larimore Street, Florence, was flown to Huntsville after he was stabbed in the stomach.

Holt said investigators are continuing to talk with witnesses to try and determine the suspect's identity.

Anyone with any information about the stabbing is asked to call police at 256-768-2728 or Shoals Crime Stoppers at 256-386-8685.

Man accused of selling buildings

FLORENCE — Authorities said a local man is in jail accused of selling portable storage buildings he didn't own.

Greg Tribble, 46, 2015 Lauderdale 16, Florence, is charged with first-degree theft of property, Lauderdale County Sheriff Ronnie Willis said.

Investigators said Tribble is accused of selling small portable shortage buildings.

"He didn't own the buildings to start with, but he claimed he did and he would sell them to people and then pocket the money," Lauderdale County sheriff's investigator Thomas McCluskey said.

McCluskey said evidence indicates the illegal sales have been going on since May. He said evidence indicates at least $17,000 worth of the storage buildings have been sold.

"And we're still getting reports," he said.
