Pickens County man arrested after alleged shooting, strangulation

PICKENS COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - A Pickens County man is in jail on a half-million-dollar bond after court records claimed he fired a gun toward a man and an 8-year-old child, then assaulted a woman.

New complaints in Pickens County District Court charge Tanner Jackson Cleaver with:

• Reckless attempted murder
• Reckless endangerment of multiple individuals with a weapon
• Domestic violence by strangulation
• Interfering with a domestic violence emergency call

Investigators said Cleaver shot toward the man and a vehicle where the child had just been placed, and strangled a woman, then took her phone so she couldn’t call 911.

No court date or attorney information was immediately available.
