Amen! They never tell the good stories! They never help promote small businesses, it’s basically a gossip column.

Well, obviously having a law against risking the lives of everyone you pass on the road isn’t enough…Perhaps public shaming will work.
Bama MC
Y’all do realize this is a small town not a whole lot of news to post
Bama MC
Some of you would bitch if y’all was giving a gold nickel ! It’s public record if you don’t want your mugshot everywhere don’t get in trouble
Michael Karhan
Wow love that Internet age . Mind your own business people
Vicki Jordan Hardin
don’t agree with putting his face out there.true he shouldn’t be drinking and driving but nothing happened thank God!! this is no reason to put his pic on here..
Paul Scott Pinson
They should do follow up stories on folks who have grown up in that area and moved on and are successful in life. I know quite a few.
The Trussville Tribune
You mean stories like this?

Paul Scott Pinson
The Trussville Tribune yeah like that. Just do those more often.
Sam Woodward
No reason to embarrass someone. He obviously made a horrible decision and will pay the consequences. No need to plaster the guys face all over Facebook.
Alexis Little
Why are people complaining? He drove drunk. He broke a major law that could have cost the lives of many people. I bet if he killed one of your family members y’all would be burning him at the stake yourselves. Get over it.
Rachael Joyce
This isn’t even journalism. Find something relevant or helpful to report, please. This isn’t news.
Emmi Pruitt
Memphis has a whole newspaper dedicated to showing people’s mug shots. It’s quite popular and does make some people regret their actions more. Having known Justin as a kid this is extremely disappointing but maybe it’ll keep him from breaking the law again. Drunk driving is one of the most stupid, selfish things anyone can do.
Jennifer Chinnis Lawley
There’s always a human interest story that could be told.
Christina White
Exactly Bama MC
Christina White
The people complaining OBVIOUSLY support drunk driving. Like OMG Becky, we should totally run our own newspaper place, like yeah! *pops gum*
Marcy Haffner

You folks just don’t know how news worthy this really is.
Mitzi Seales
Bet if this wasn’t a ” Trussville” person all the comments would be different.
Wallace Wahd
Hey lets try to ruin this kid!!! Pathetic The Trussville Tribune. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Alexis Little
This “kid” isn’t a kid and ruined himself. Stop defending someone who could have killed people!
Wallace Wahd
Alexis Little Blame the restaurants and the city of Trussville for serving the sauce not the poor sap who sat there and drank it.
Lucinda Walker
Prayers for all involved.
Jennifer Poole
Damn!! Let’s just kick a kid while he down! No I’m not justifying his actions but really!! I’m sure there are more important stories to cover!
Josh Jones
Alexis Little you must have a personal vendetta against this guy.
Michael Blankenship
funny people complain about this story but if he would have and killed someone it would have still ended up in the paper. maybe it will make him think twice before putting someone’s else life in jeopardy.
Tjo Johnson
……but it would be news worthy if while driving drunk he had killed an innocent person… Right Wallace Wahd? Keep up the good work Tribune. Maybe a little public humiliation might save his life.
Alexis Little
Wallace Wahd are you serious right now? You’re blaming the establishment? That’s absolute bullshit. They didn’t pour liquor or beer down his throat. They didn’t force keys into his hand. They didn’t put him on the road and make him swerve. They didn’t put innocent lives at risk. He made these decisions and acted upon them.
Alexis Little
Josh Jones nope. Don’t know him from Adam. But I know what drunk driving can do. It kills. It’s pouring other people’s lives at risk. And to see people coddling him and defending him makes me sick. He might not be a bad guy, but he did a bad thing and needs to face full consequences.
Alexis Little
Would it be more important to you if he had killed someone? Would that be some juicy news?
Wallace Wahd
Alexis Little Yea I am serious and this is not a matter that needs to be stamped all over social media. It was a simple DUI- 9/10 people who leave a bar could be given one just like it …. If the guy hit something or was involved in an accident of some sort…. Yea. It was a $1000 bond run of the Mill DUI. Big Fn Deal. It’s hyenas like yourself who need to be checked. Lol.
Alexis Little
Wallace Wahd you sound like the same type of person that would blame a victim of rape for enticing the rapist.
This man made the decision. He could have hurt someone. He could have killed someone. So yeah. You do the crime, you take the consequences. Being ridiculed and facing the music being one of them.
Wallace Wahd
Alexis Little it’s a F’n charge. Are you even listening to yourself!? He’s not guilty till he’s proven guilty. It doesn’t belong in any sort of news for people like yourself to cast their judgements and shame the guy. You know nothing about It. These “charges” are thrown out all the time.
Alexis Little
They wouldn’t have gone through the trouble to charge him if he wasn’t somewhat intoxicated. They have breathalyzers for a reason. If he had blown a clean number he wouldn’t have a mug shot. Lol. Obviously he blew over the limit or they would have let him go.
Alexis Little
Blowing over the legal limit means you’re drunk. I have no tolerance for drunk or impaired driving. It’s killed too many people. And people like you who excuse it are just continuing the trend.
Wallace Wahd
Alexis Little you know nothing child. Really. Live a little longer before you try to have opinions. You sound foolish.
Deanna Hunt
Because breaking the law and risking other people’s lives is news worthy. Good reporting…keep it up!!!
Alexis Little
I’m far from a child. And I’m the one who sounds foolish? You’re the one defending someone who was in the wrong and could have hurt someone.
Wallace Wahd
Alexis Little “Charged” …. He will have his say in court. When he is guilty and the tribune wants to slam the guy have at it. I have known people who were charged and not guilty. Just because someone is charged DOES not mean they are guilty. You know nothing and it shows.
Alexis Little
If you blow over and go to jail for it and have a bond set, tell me how that means he is not guilty? Unless his daddy has connections, he’s guilty.
Wallace Wahd
It’s called due process. Every American deserves it. Check it out.
Jennifer Poole
You know what you are right!! Everyone grab ur torches – it’s time for a witch hunt!
Michelle Hansard Sennamon
Should of posted about motorcycle accident in 9/11 Memorial Ride. Family and friends need prayers but most importantly he was riding in memory of 9/11
Jennifer Poole
Thank you!!!
Jennifer Poole
And not that it’s ANY OF UR business.. His bac was ONLY .02% FAR lower than the actually legal limit of .08%
Jordan Kennemur
I don’t think everyone complaining necessarily supports drunk driving…. This is just a shitty ass platform to do this
Jordan Kennemur
Y’all are grown ass people acting like you never made a poor decision or a mistake in your life…..most of y’all are lucky you’re too old and missed the opportunity of being put on blast by people who don’t know a thing about you…..just because no one made a gaint spectacle of mistakes you’ve made doesn’t make it okay to talk down on someone who clearly has made a mistake of thier own
Jennifer Poole
And the ONLY reason he was arrested is because he is under the age of 21 – had he been 21+ this would NEVER have been a DUI!
Alexis Little
My mistakes couldn’t have cost someone’s life. So.
Alexis Little
But he’s a minor that consumed alcohol. Still illegal. Lol.
Alexis Little
I didn’t say a witch hunt. But you’re making him out to be some poor kid that the media is attacking and he’s not. Lol.
Alexis Little
In a DUI case, they don’t take you to jail unless you blow an illegal amount. Jennifer Poole you said yourself he blew a .2 correct? As a minor that’s illegal. Therefore, he’s guilty. You can’t argue against a breathalyzer. Lol.
Wallace Wahd
Alexis Little Except Attorneys do it every day in court.
Jennifer Poole
Alexis Little way to let the justice system sort it out!! Charged… Tried … And convicted.. In the State Court of Alexis Little!
Jennifer Poole
Alexis Little and you are making him out like he’s some habitual offender who deserves to be convicted out if the gate!
Lee Brewer
Now I know how much the Trussville Tribune SUCKS!!
Please print how many people are stupid enough to pay 50 cents for your, and I use the temp loosely, newspaper.
Jordan Kennemur
Learn some facts about the situation before you put you’re two cents in….
Mike Sherre Meadows
Why would you all post this? Hope this guy doesn’t get an attorney and sue you! Y’all need to stop!
Corbin Clendenin
Way to put a person out there like that sorry bastereds The Trussville Tribune
Christina White
Most of the comments is complaining about posting his picture, that’s who my comment is directed to.
Alexis Little
Like what facts?
Alexis Little
I have zero tolerance for impaired driving of any kind. He’s probably not a bad person. But he made a bad mistake. Like I’ve said multiple times, he was doing something illegal and should be punished. Don’t want to see your face all over the internet? Don’t get in trouble with the law. His mistake could have cost someone their life even if it was just his first offense.
Alexis Little
Lol that sounds pretty good to me.
Jennifer Poole
Alexis Little k
Carlie Scroggins
Homeboy didn’t even drive drunk. He was under the legal limit but underage so he automatically gets charged with a DUI. That’s why people are complaining because the titles misleading…but carry on assuming everything you read is true.
Alexis Little
I don’t care what homeboy did. He was a minor who drove drunk. That’s illegal. If we let him slide we let others slide and someone ends up dead. I’m really surprised so many people are defending someone who broke the law.
Carlie Scroggins
“In a DUI case they don’t take you to jail unless you blow over the legal limit” & that quote right there proves how little you really know. You obviously aren’t aware that they can take you to jail and charge you with whatever they want even if you haven’t taken a breathalyzer test? It’s actually within your right to refuse a breathalyzer.
Wallace Wahd
Carlie Scroggins We are arguing with a child. She knows nothing. Let it go.
Jordan Kennemur
Aka not your business…… Why are you wasting your time talking about someone you don’t even know….I’m sure you’re perfect girl… but the rest of us aren’t and it’s not cool to publicly bash and pass judgement on people ……you’ve never made a mistake so you can’t relate….so clearly the Internet is not the place for you to give you’re two cents….I’m just confused why you have so much to say……not all of us can be perfect like yourself Alexis Little
Alexis Little
Jordan Kennemur I’ve never said I was perfect. And I don’t think it’s wasting my time. People don’t seem to have any concept of how dangerous drunk driving is. I get it. He wasn’t “drunk”. But he was still intoxicated by the laws standards. And if we let him slip through unpunished, other people who are drunk will begin to slip. People die every day from these little mistakes. I’m tired of watching friends and family be buried because someone else didn’t think twice.
Jordan Kennemur
Girl everyone gets what you’re saying, just no one cares to hear your option on it……Let the legal system handle him because I don’t believe you’re qualified
