Gadsden,AL: Suspect connected to fatal crash in Calhoun County captured on November, Wednesday 1st 2017

Calhoun County deputies apprehended a man sought in connection with the death of a Jacksonville man who was killed Oct. 2- when his vehicle collided with a stolen trailer left abandoned on U.S. Highway 431, according to Sheriff Matthew Wade.

Authorities had been searching for Reagan Kenney since a few days after the crash claimed Adam Harris’ life. Harris, 34, was a U.S. Postal Server carrier. He had a route in downtown Gadsden.

He died at UAB Hospital in Birmingham a few days after the crash.

In a press conference last week, Wade said after taking the trailer from a business on U.S. 431 near Glencoe, the thieves apparently turned too sharply and the trailer ended up partially in a ditch. They left it, jutting into the roadway. Harris drove along the darkened roadway a short time later and struck the trailer.

Investigators had a description of the truck involved in the theft and linked it to the theft of a tailgate, from the same model vehicle, on the other side of the county. Acting on a hunch, they drove by the home of a suspect in other thefts and spotted the truck, with a man asleep inside.

James Christopher Hooper was arrested, but another suspect, Kenney, apparently went out the back of the house and escaped.
