Bond Denied for Mobile Woman Accused of Firing Shots at Bowling Alley While Out on Murder Bond

A Mobile woman already out on bond for a murder charge has been denied bond again after police accused her of firing shots at four people outside a Government Boulevard bowling alley.

Christin Edwards is accused of opening fire at the AMF Bowling Company around 10:45 p.m. on a Tuesday night. At the time, she was free on bond in a 2019 case in which she is charged with killing a 17-year-old boy on Rickarby Street.

Under the terms of that release, Edwards was required to be home by 8 p.m. each night — more than two hours before the bowling alley shooting.

According to the Mobile Police Department, one of the victims struck Edwards before she began firing at them. The department did not release the conditions of those hurt in the incident.

Edwards was scheduled to appear before a judge again the following Tuesday.

Revoking pretrial release

Pretrial release in Alabama comes with conditions set by a judge, such as a curfew. If a defendant is found to have violated those conditions or to have committed a new offense while free, a judge can revoke the release after a hearing and order the defendant held in jail.
