Montgomery man arrested for shooting girlfriend's car 14 times

A Montgomery man shot at his girlfriend more than a dozen times as she tried to escape him in her car, court documents allege of an August 2018 incident. 

James Earl Russell, 38, was arrested last week and charged with discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle on Thursday, Aug. 30. 

An arrest affidavit for Russell states he and the victim had been in a relationship for about two years when she attempted to "flee from the suspect."

The victim was "driving away backwards," court documents state, when Russell allegedly began shooting, hitting the victim's vehicle in the hood approximately fourteen times. 

Court documents do not indicate the victim was injured. Russell was arrested Thursday, Dec. 7, and has since been released on a $15,000 bond.
