Auburn, Ala. - On Dec. 11, 2024, Auburn Police arrested Mondreke Antonio France, age 41, from Auburn, Alabama, on a felony warrant charging him with assault first degree.

The arrest stems from officers responding to a vehicle crash near the intersection of Moores Mill Road and Weatherford Street on Oct. 25, 2024.
