(BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala.) Baldwin County's District Attorney
wants the suspects involved in the motorcycle gang murder to submit DNA samples
for the case.
Five people have been arrested in connection to the death of Samuel Dixson, a Milton man found dead near Styx River last month.
Officials say all are in some way connected to a Michigan-based motorcycle gang called the "Devils Diciples."
"Because it's a cheek swab its considered non invasive," Baldwin County DA Hallie Dixon said. "The rules of criminal procedure a discovery rule allows us to ask the court for and order and they would order the defendant to comply and from there we get a cheek swab or what they call a buckle swab."
Late Monday a Baldwin County judge granted the prosecution's request to get the DNA from all the defendants. Authorities say the case will likely go to a grand jury and more arrests could be coming.
