A Falkville man was arrested while coincidentally wearing a T-shirt with words reflecting the crime he's accused of. The shirt displayed the name "DevilDriver" and the album "Winter Kills." The crime was allegedly driving a vehicle into both people and property. Investigators say it was a deliberate attack fueled by alcohol and anger.

Morgan County Sheriff Ana Franklin said deputies responded to a 911 call about a wreck with injuries at a mobile home on Pleasant Country Road shortly before 1 a.m. Wednesday. Upon arrival, deputies said they found a sedan wedged against another vehicle. They got the sedan's driver, identified as Daniel Alan Hickey, out and determined he was drunk.

Franklin said the deputies noticed several injured people there plus property damage. Two criminal investigators were called in.

Those investigators reported that Hickey, who they also determined was drunk, went on a rampage after getting angry at his spouse. They said he started by damaging furniture in the home. They determined he then got in the vehicle and deliberately ran into other vehicles outside and another mobile home.

Franklin said when the homeowner confronted him about this, Hickey intentionally drove into him. She said when the victim's wife tried to help him up, Hickey ran into her too. Investigators said another woman was injured when Hickey hit a nearby porch next.

Deputies say no one's injuries that night were life-threatening. The homeowner's wife was taken to Cullman Regional Medical Center.

Hickey, 38, was arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree assault, a Class C felony. He also faces one count of first-degree criminal mischief and one count of reckless endangerment. Franklin said other charges may be pending.

Hickey was taken to the Morgan County Jail on $8,000 bond.
