Fields wasn’t arrested until the following Wednesday morning.
Police say William Fields threatened to shoot and kill Daphne officers and even
“I slept with the gun fully loaded, safety off, right next to me. I was not comfortable going to bed last night for me and my family’s safety,” he said.Neighbors tell FOX 10 News that Fields was behaving erratically and walking around his yard holding a long gun.“None of the neighbors were notified. No one on the street was notified. Anyone that lived directly around the guy wasn’t notified. So we were all kind of left in the dark,” he said.
“We did not feel like the danger of sending a team of cops up there, when he’s in that agitated state, was worth the risk knowing that he was there alone,” Vannoy said. “And that we could probably follow up with him later maybe when he wasn’t in such a bad frame of mind.”The neighbor says that doesn’t make him feel any safer and that Fields should not have been left alone.
According to jail records Fields has been in and out of jail several times within the last few months.
