Tennessee news of the weird:
Item 1 is from the Rob Smith category of "people who should be drug off and shot"...
Item 1:
The Sullivan County (Tennessee) Sheriff’s office plans to release more information today about a 10-year-old boy who police say flipped the family car at 90 miles per hour Sunday night with two adults riding shotgun.
Sullivan County Sheriff's Office say three kids—including the 10-year-old—were inside. They found the car on it’s top, and say a woman was in the car swallowing pills, with a man, who says he drank more than 15 beers.
The crash happened on Flatwoods Road, in the middle of Cherokee National Forest, just off the southern tip of South Holston Lake.
Police charged Randy Lewis with his third DUI and child abuse.
Captain Keith Elton says Lewis admitted to drinking at least 15 beers and liquor before the crash.
The shirt Lewis was wearing ironically reads, “Buy this dad a beer.”
Item 2:
Police in Knoxville, Tenn.,
arrested Richard Smith, 25, in September after he called 911 from an
air duct in the Knoxville Museum of Art. Smith immediately
volunteered that he was "special agent 0-9-3-1" with the "United States
Illuminati" and that he had come to retrieve a nuclear warhead from the
Soviet Union that was concealed in a blue plastic cow in the basement.
Smith got trapped, he said, after he
received a phone call aborting the mission because the cow was actually
supposed to be in a museum in Memphis. He said he had entered the
Museum of Art by being lowered from a "CH2 Huey" helicopter, but police
basically rejected everything Smith said except his name. [WBIR-TV
