Phenix City mom, son arrested after possible drug-related shooting at their home, authorities say
A Phenix City woman who “knew her son was buying and using drugs” faces charges after a shooting at her home, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Tracy Lynn Bagley, 47, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, according to a news release.
Her 17-year-old son, unnamed in the release, was charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, it said.
On Jan. 28, 2020, officers were called to a home in the 600 block of Lee Road 307 in Phenix City, in reference to a dispute over a drug deal that left one person dead and another in critical condition, the sheriff’s office said.
On Tuesday, deputies were called back there after reports of multiple gunshots. The 17-year-old living there said the shooting may have occurred because he “owed someone money for purchasing marijuana,” the release said.
His mother said another shooting happened at the home about six months ago, and she did not notify law enforcement because she “knew that her son was buying and using drugs,” the release said.
She has since been released from the Lee County Jail on a $1,000 bond.
Her son was transported to the Lee County Youth Detention Center, to await a juvenile court hearing.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office at 334-749-5651 or Central Alabama Crime Stoppers at 334-215-STOP.
