Chevis Finley was booked into the Jefferson County Jail Friday night on $75,000 bond. Hinkle said Finley is on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
Lt. Norman Stapp of the Irondale Police Department on Friday said Finley and the victim, Brodrick Rashad Dixon, 27, of Helena were visiting a woman at the Enclave at Mountain Brook apartments.
Dixon was shot several times at 3:15 a.m. Friday outside the 1100 building at Sharpsburg Circle.
Hinkle said he was not aware of Finley having any disciplinary problems. “As far as I know, he’s been an excellent officer,” Hinkle said.
Finley was released on bond on Monday, according to court records. A hearing has been scheduled in Jefferson County District Judge Sheldon Watkins’ court on June 15.

I don’t think that it is right to have my friend is all on the Internet like he’s a cold hearted killer. Well, he’s not. Chevis is a nice young man who minds his on business and is very respectful and I don’t think he killed that guy for nothing. Chevis. Did only what is was trained to do and that’s to protected his self. Why r people trying to make chevis look like a killer? Chevis will always be my friend no matter what people need to stop making him look like a killer. I love u chevis! We r praying for u!!!!!! Take care!
I agree with what you are saying. Officer chevis came to my rescue when i had a domestic problem. After that, he made sure i was o.k. and noone was bothering me after that. He was sweet and made sure that my kids got to the bus in the mornings safley. I dont think he would harm a fly unless the fly was gonna harm him first. i think it was SELF DEFENSE and you guys need to let him go.
