FOLEY, Ala. — A 19-year-old Foley man was been booked into the Baldwin County Corrections Center and charged with murder for allegedly throwing a street sign through the front windshield of a car and killing the driver.

According to Cpl. Steve Smith, public information officer for the Alabama State Trooper Office in Mobile, Jonathan Hadley, 19, was arrested after Troopers responded to a 911 call regarding a single vehicle wreck on Baldwin County Road 55 at Magnolia School.

The call was placed at approximately 2:25 a.m., Smith said in a news release issued on Sept. 27. The incident occurred near Sweet Gum Subdivision where Hadley’s father, Albert, lives.

When Troopers arrived at the scene, they found the driver of a 1999 green Ford Mustang dead. An investigation determined that a street sign had been thrown through the front windshield of the Mustang as it traveled north on County Road 55. The sign struck the driver in the head, the release said.

Baldwin County Deputy Coroner Rod Steade said on Tuesday that the victim’s death was “instantaneous” from a brain injury. The steel pipe on the sign struck the victim above the right eyebrow, Steade said.

Smith said on Monday that the driver has been identified as Jose Juan Galiana, who had turned 22 eight days before he was killed.

Troopers have placed a hold on Galiana’s vehicle, Smith said, as the Alabama Bureau of Investigation continues to looka into the case.

While no motive for the incident has been determined at this point, Smith said investigators do not believe Hadley and Galiana knew each other.

The Baldwin County Corrections Center Web site lists Hadley’s name as “John Lee Hadley” and gives a Trident Lane, Fairhope address for the man.

Steade said Galiana was positively identified by friends this week, who have contacted the victim’s mother. As of Tuesday, plans were being made to return Galiana’s body to Mexico for burial, Steade said.

John Lee Hadley’s father, Albert, was also arrested for hindering prosecution and filing a false police report, Smith said in the original news release.

Steade, in referring to Albert Hadley, 39, said Hadley was the one who called 911 and “He stayed around as a Good Samaritan.” Steade said Albert Hadley ran over to give “solace or help - that’s his story.”

But Albert Hadley was booked into the Corrections Center on Sept. 26 and released after posting a $2,500 bond. John Lee Hadley has also been released after posting a $50,000 bond on the murder charge.
