That is not a valid reason to admit it. It's possible it could come in under "common plan or scheme" re the September 2021 road-side shooting, which AM also allegedly did to evade problems. Tony Satterfield said he contacted AM about the money sometime in June -- before the roadside episode. To be admitted the evidence not only has to be admissible under Rule 404 (below), it must also be more probative than prejudicial.
CHARACTER EVIDENCE NOT ADMISSIBLE TO PROVE CONDUCT; EXCEPTION; OTHER CRIMES
(a) Character Evidence Generally. Evidence of a person's character or a trait of character is not admissible for the purpose of proving action in conformity therewith on a particular occasion, except:
(b) Other Crimes, Wrongs, or Acts. Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may, however, be admissible to show motive, identity, the existence of a common scheme or plan, the absence of mistake or accident, or intent.
