An Alabama driver shot a pedestrian to death � for taking too
long crossing the road, according to police.
Johnarian Allen, 29, was hit eight times in a barrage of bullets
Thursday as he crossed outside a store in Union Springs, a small
town about 45 miles southeast of Montgomery, according to WSFA
12 News.
Driver Jermiah Penn, 22, fled the shooting scene � but later
arranged to hand himself in via a friend who is a sheriff�s
deputy, police said.
He allegedly confessed to jumping out of his vehicle and firing
multiple times because he felt Allen wasn�t moving out of the
roadway quickly enough, Union Springs Police Chief Danny Jackson
told the station.
Penn is being held on a capital murder charge in the Bullock
County Jail, police said.
