FALKVILLE, Ala. – A trusty (“an inmate granted special privileges as a trustworthy person”) walked off of a jobsite Thursday morning, Dec. 7 in Falkville. Authorities are asking for help from the public to locate him.
The Morgan County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) identified the trusty as Wesley David Aldridge, 36, of Falkville. They said Aldridge was working with the Town of Falkville and walked off a jobsite along Robinson Creek Road.
He was last seen wearing a gray vest, green hoodie, blue jeans and a camo hat. He also has a goatee.
