(MAGNOLIA SPRINGS, Ala.) Sept. 27 - A Baldwin County teenager has been arrested for murder, accused of killing a man by throwing a street sign through his car's windshield.

Sunday night, Jonathan Hadley, 19, was being held the Baldwin County Corrections Center. 

Around 2 a.m. Saturday morning, authorities say Hadley walked along the side of County Road 55 near Foley, carrying a pole and sign ripped from his own street. Investigators say Hadley threw the sign at a passing car, with enough force to send the pole through a driver's windshield.

The sign hit the driver, a 22-year-old Hispanic male, in the head. The severe wounds to the victim's head have so far prevented authorities from positively identifying him.

The suspect's father, Albert Hadley, was also arrested and charged with hindering prosecution and filing a false report. Police have yet to provide further details on the father's involvement in the case.

At this time, authorities believe the Jonathan Hadley did not know the victim.
