SEMINOLA, Ala. (WALA) – A Seminole man is behind bars after Baldwin County sheriff’s investigators say he shot a man during a dispute over money.

The attack happened this morning at a home on Wayburn Road. Deputies found the victim in the front yard with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Investigators said Jason Hall admitted to shooting the man after they got into an argument about money in the front yard.

The injured person was taken to hospital for treatment.

Hall surrendered to deputies when he arrived, according to authorities. Hall was questioned by deputies and later arrested. Investigators say the victim was trying to collect a debt.

Hall is charged with first-degree assault with bail set at $10,000. But he is not being held on any bail on unrelated charges.
