A man fired on a group of horse riders in Florida near the Alabama state line south of Dothan and injured one rider, according the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.

Earnest Jett Jr., the suspect, was arrested in Alabama after being tracked across the state line. He was seen crossing U.S. 231 on foot about 4 p.m. Saturday and was arrested by the Florida Highway Patrol.

At about 3:30 p.m., the sheriff’s office received a report of someone being shot near 2110 Hook Way, north of Campbellton, Fla.

Deputies and Florida highway patrol officers responded and Alabama authorities were alerted in case the suspect crossed state lines.

A single suspect had come out of a wooded area and fired dozens of rounds at a group of horse riders, hitting one victim, the sheriff’s office said.

The suspect did not have a weapon when he was arrested, but the K-9 Tracking Unit was able to locate various items of evidence and, eventually, the weapon, the sheriff’s office said.

Jett was arrested and transported to the Houston County jail. He will await extradition back to Jackson County where he will face an Open Count of Second-Degree Attempted Murder and numerous other felony charges.

Sheriff Donald Edenfield thanked the Florida Highway Patrol, Alabama Law Enforcement Highway Patrol and Houston County Sheriff Donald Valenza and his office for their assistance taking Jett into custody.

No identification or update on the condition of the victim was available.

WTVY reported that court records indicate Jett, 47, lives in Madrid, Alabama and that the shooting victim was a woman who may be an Alabama doctor, although that is not confirmed.
