Thanks reedus. Chessie's crime did occur in Baldwin Co.
"Hall said the victim came forward while getting help in Mobile and Baldwin counties. The alleged abuse took place in Baldwin County."

Unusual to say the least.
Then, yes, that makes no sense. Has Chessie actually made a court appearance? Are her charges actually pending before a Mobile County Circuit Court? The can only think of a few things.
1. It was misreported and the acts took place in Mobile County.
2. The charges are, in fact, actually in Baldwin County but since she was in Mobile County, she had to be arrested by Mobile County Sheriff's, and was being held in Mobile County waiting for transfer to Baldwin County.
3. There are some other facts we don't know yet.
4. There is some law I'm not familiar with there or not thinking of that would allow the charges to be brought anywhere other than where the crime occurred.
