Earlier this week an Alabama man was hospitalized after he was wounded in a shoot-out with his wife’s secret lover.
The incident happened Sunday in Creola, AL at around 9 p.m. According to authorities, Frank Reeves’ wife, Tracy, had warned her husband about a possible intruder, prompting him to get his gun. However, the alleged “intruder” was revealed to be Michael Amacker, a convicted felon who had been having an affair with Tracy for over a year.
Amacker was apparently staying at the Reeves’ home without Frank’s knowledge, and Tracy allegedly hid him in a room where she provided him with food and other essentials. The New York Post reported that authorities discovered bottles of urine in Amacker’s living quarters, indicating that he had been there for some time.
During the incident, Frank was shot in the chest and Amacker was hit in the leg. The two men were sent to the hospital, and Amacker was arrested for attempted murder, possession of a prohibited controlled substance, and possession of a handgun with an altered serial number.
Tracy was apprehended a few days later after meeting with detectives while allegedly high on drugs. Authorities then searched her vehicle, where they discovered methenamine. She was detained on suspicion of possessing a controlled drug.
“It was just a very odd scene to work,” Mobile County Sheriff’s Capt. Paul Burch said. “It’s something that I haven’t seen in 30-plus years.”
