Alabama sheriff’s employee arrested, accused of hiding boyfriend suspected of murder

An employee of the Mobile County Sheriff’s office was arrested Tuesday for allegedly hiding her boyfriend who is suspected murder.

Andrea Nettles, a community resource officer, is charged with first-degree hindering prosecution, according to the sheriff’s office.

Her boyfriend Gregory Jowers was arrested Monday with the help of the US Marshalls Fugitive Task Force, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. Jowers was wanted for the fatal assault of John Fabian on Christmas last year, according to the sheriff’s release.
