Lincoln man out on bond for attempted murder charges arrested on drug charges A Lincoln man out on bond in connection with a shooting incident last year has been arrested, according to the Talladega County Drug and Violent Crime Task Force. Jonathon Virgil Davis, 23, of Self Street, was pulled over by Lincoln Police early Sunday morning, according to task force Cmdr. Jason Murray. After obtaining consent to search the vehicle, task force agents found approximately three ounces of marijuana, a pipe used for smoking marijuana and a pistol. Davis did not appear to have a permit for the pistol, Murray said. The amount of marijuana was inconsistent with personnel use, he added, which prompted a felony charge. According to assistant Talladega County District Attorney Christina Kilgore, Davis is also facing charges of attempted murder and shooting into an occupied dwelling. Those charges are currently pending before a grand jury, she said, and stem from an incident on Roberson Road on Dec. 28, 2013. Officers responded to a shots fired call and discovered the body of Deonte Strown, 27, lying in the driveway. A second victim, Luann Storey, 46, was transported to the hospital by private vehicle, but also succumbed to her wounds, according to accounts published at the time. Since grand jury investigations are conducted in secret, what exactly happened that night remained unclear Monday. Kilgore said the charges against Davis involved two different victims, and that one had subsequently died. Davis’s bond on the new charges was set at $500,000 by Talladega County District Court Judge Jeb Fannin. Kilgore said the state was preparing a motion to have Davis’s previous bond revoked, keeping him in jail until his trial. Attempted murder is a class A felony in Alabama, punishable upon conviction by 20 to 99 years or life in prison. Shooting into an occupied dwelling is a class B felony, punishable upon conviction by 10 to 20 years in prison. Possession of marijuana in the first degree is a class C felony, punishable by one year and one day to 10 years in prison. Possession of drug paraphernalia and carrying a pistol without a permit are both misdemeanors.
