OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 08/14/2025, Mobile County Sheriff’s Office Special Operations Division deputies were searching for 43-year-old Joel Fuller, who was wanted on an active felony warrant for second-degree domestic violence involving strangulation and misdemeanor warrants for trespassing, harassment and stalking. Fuller had been released from the Mobile County Metro Jail on 08/03/2025 following an earlier domestic-violence arrest. Authorities said the new warrants stemmed from allegations involving the same woman and that Fuller had continued contacting and threatening her after his release.
Deputies located Fuller driving in the Airport Boulevard area near Williams Street and attempted to stop him. Fuller accelerated away while deputies pursued. The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office reported that deputies lost sight of Fuller’s vehicle during the pursuit.
Fuller continued east on Airport Boulevard and reached the intersection with Florida Street, where he ran a red light and crashed into a Jeep Cherokee driven by an uninvolved motorist. Deputies who had lost sight of Fuller arrived at the intersection and found the wreck. Both Fuller and the Jeep driver suffered serious injuries and were transported to a hospital. The uninvolved driver suffered broken bones and was later reported in stable condition.
Fuller remained hospitalized following the crash and died from his injuries on 08/15/2025. The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office confirmed his death the following afternoon. Mobile Police Department investigated the collision because Mobile County deputies had been pursuing Fuller immediately before the crash.
Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch defended the decision to pursue Fuller, citing the escalating domestic-violence allegations and the danger authorities believed he presented to the woman involved. The pursuit and fatal crash occurred amid a series of allegations that Fuller had repeatedly contacted, threatened and stalked her despite his recent arrest and release.
