Former Headland cop accused of killing pregnant wife's unborn child during fight heading to trial this summer
DOTHAN, Ala (WDHN) — A former police officer accused of attacking his wife and causing her to miscarry could face a jury of his peers this summer after several delays. Court records show Robert Allen Maddox will appear before a jury and Judge John Steensland on Monday, June 9, at the Houston County Courthouse. Maddox is facing one count of manslaughter after investigators claimed Maddox threw his now ex-wife to the floor of their home during a fight in March 2022 and began choking her, which cut off her air supply. Man kills self in jail on Mother's Day after killing his mom, authorities say In Maddox's indictment, investigators said Maddox then began punching his then-wife in the stomach, ultimately causing her to miscarry. After the alleged attack, Maddox's then-wife, who separated from him after the incident, reported it to Dothan Police. Maddox was arrested at the end of March 2022 and was initially charged with one count of domestic violence. However, four months after his initial arrest, Dothan Police said a continued investigation revealed the victim was pregnant and had miscarried, prompting police to charge Maddox with an additional count of murder. That murder charge was later reduced to one count of manslaughter. Victims identified in deadly semi-truck crash in Houston County Maddox was initially set to stand trial in April of last year, but that was pushed to April of 2025. His trial date was then pushed a second time to June. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Daughter of Dothan cold case murder victim outraged over trial delay: ‘Quit hiding'
DOTHAN, Ala (WDHN) — The daughter of a Dothan woman killed over twenty years ago is angry after the trial of her mother's accused killer was delayed. Dwight Mills was set to go to trial on Monday. He is facing one count of murder and corpse abuse in the 2001 murder of his wife, Sharon Mills. 'It's time for Dwight and his lawyer to quit hiding. He is 70 years old now he has been walking free for 23 years he doesn't deserve any more time to work on his case I think he needs to go to court and face it,' said Angel Faulk, Sharon's daughter. A Houston County judge agreed to push the trial after Mills' attorneys say they haven't been able to see the discovery and evidence in the case due to Dothan Police having an issue with electronic files. Trial of accused Dothan cold case killer delayed Investigators decided to deliver to documents to his attorneys at the beginning of this month but they say 2 weeks is not enough time to prepare for the trial. Faulk is viewing it as a tactic his lawyers are using, kicking the can down the road in order to get more time and money out of mills. 'He got plenty of money off the insurance polices he got off my mother so yeah its a game and unfortunately people call this the criminal system but its not justice but we need swift justice,' said Faulk. This comes after Dothan Police believe Mills killed his wife in Houston county around Christmas eve drove to Bonifay, Florida, where he dumped her body in a drainage ditch shortly after Christmas when he filed a missing persons report. Dothan family wants justice 20 years after cold case murder Faulk says one of the most frustrating things of them all, is that the news of the trial delayed came during national crime victims rights week, a special week to her. 'This is a long drawn out horrible process, I'm thankful I get to stand up to be a voice for my mom and other victims with the trial not happening at this time,' Faulk says a few tentative dates have been thrown out as there are other trials ahead of the Mills trial, but she is hoping the court system will continue to push and keep the case at the forefront. 'He's dragged our family through hell and he deserves to pay for this,' said Faulk. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
