BAY MINETTE, Alabama — Two suspects are in custody and two Baldwin County Sheriff’s deputies were injured Tuesday afternoon while following up on the location of a runaway juvenile north of Bay Minette.

According to a release issued Tuesday by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred around 2:30 p.m. on Alabama 287 near Petersen Lane after spotting the juvenile and a male adult coming from a wood lane.
