JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ala. - A Jefferson County criminal defendant is at the center of a legal issue spanning two counties.
Tyrone Bennett, a convicted felon from Jefferson County, is currently receiving treatment at a facility that’s certified by the Alabama Department of Mental Health. The agency filed a motion to move Bennett to a neighboring facility, Magnolia Wood, in downtown Prattville.
Pickett filed a second order noting registered sex offenders under mental health supervision at a state authorized facility are exempt from the sex offender residency requirements. “This is a target-rich environment of children and I will do everything in my power to protect them,” Robinson stated.
