A murder and brutal attack in Citronelle have investigators working overtime. On August 17th, Stephen Perret was found shot to death in a work truck on Dogwood Drive. Less than a week later, Mike Crocker was brutally attacked right outside his back door. Law enforcement sources tell News 5 that someone gouged his eyes and cut his tongue out.
For weeks, people in the normally quiet city of Citronelle have waited for answers. They could get some of those answers as early as this week. Five investigators from the Mobile County Sheriff's Department have been working on the case and believe its work related. Both men worked at Vulcan Industrial Services in Mount Vernon. Crocker was one of the owners of the industrial waste company. Perret was recently promoted to plant manager. News 5's Tiffany Craig has learned that the Mobile County Sheriff's Department expects to make the first arrest in the case this week. They won't say if this person is local or what the connection is to the victims. Investigators won't say if there is some type of a crime ring but tell us that they are expecting to make more arrests in the coming weeks. Crocker is out of the hospital and recovering. A family member contacted News 5 to say that he is going to speech therapy and is able to see out of one eye.
