BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) -
An older man became light headed and eventually passed out while waiting in line at the Jefferson County Courthouse on Wednesday morning.
Sheriff's Deputy William Poole says the man was standing in line for 3 hours and hit his head after falling down. He was treated by medics at the scene and taken away. The man was conscious during his treatment.
This took place while the Jefferson County Commission spent the morning discussing whether or not to open the Center Point Courthouse to relieve lines. Three or four new employees would have to be hired to man the courthouse.
Also discussed was the possible opening of two windows in Birmingham and Bessemer that take more time, like car titles and out-of-state tags. Commissioners say this would allow the tag renewal line to process faster.
