Jason Lee Fox
Jeremy Michael Credille
Attorneys appointed in Muscle Shoals capital murder case
A man charged with capital murder, who police said drove his brother to a residence and then helped him get away after the homeowner was shot, was in court Friday to get appointed attorneys.
Colbert County Circuit Judge Hal Hughston Jr. postponed an arraignment for Jeremy Michael Credille until legal representation was appointed.
Credille, 32, 425 W. Lee Ave., Florence, was arrested in January after he was indicted by a Colbert County grand jury.
Credille is the brother of Ronnie Lee Credille, 39, of Florence, who along with Erica Fox, 36, of Muscle Shoals, was arrested Aug. 26, 2016, and charged in connection with the shooting death of Jason Fox.
Erica Fox was married to Jason Fox at the time of the shooting. Police said Ronnie Lee Credille is Erica Fox’s boyfriend.
Hughston said Credille had originally indicated he had an attorney but it was now his understanding that he needed one appointed. Hughston then appointed Tuscumbia attorneys B.T. Gardner and John Kennemer to represent Credille.
“I’m going to postpone the arraignment at this time. I’m sure your attorneys will be wanting to file some motions and the state will want a chance to answer those,” Hughston said Friday. “We’ll set the arraignment for later.”
Credille, Ronnie Credille and Erica Fox were all indicted for capital murder during the January grand jury session.
Ronnie Credille’s arraignment was scheduled for Monday, but was postponed and has not been reset. Erica Fox will be arraigned April 6 by Circuit Judge Jackie Hatcher.
Police said Jeremy Credille is accused of driving Ronnie Credille to Fox’s residence on Grand Avenue in Muscle Shoals and then picking him up after Ronnie Credille shot and killed Jason Fox.
Fox, 40, was found inside the door of his house on Aug. 12. Reports indicate he was shot once in the head with what is believed to be a 9 mm pistol. Police said Fox owned a 9 mm pistol and a .22-caliber pistol. Neither were found in the house.
According to the arrest affidavit, Fox and Ronnie Credille talked to each other several times about killing her husband for insurance money so they could be together.
All three are being held in jail without bail.
