Round 1
Over the weekend Sheriff Beasley of Tipton County took a trip to wonderland where he nabbed the Mad Hatter of Munford, a man named David McNeil.
I know, With a name like that I too was expecting a much more spectacular mugshot. But, what earned him that moniker is likely his unique selection of illicit substances.
In a raid tied to a network spanning from New York to Louisiana, Police found a pound of those magic little mushrooms, some xandy bars, pew pews, Mary jane's flowers and a few other things
Most notably 22 lbs of roids and a ton of the chemicals used to make 'em
"Mad Hatter Mushrooms & Muscles—Your 1 stop shop if you want to forget your trip as you get ripped!"
During the investigation police also charged 63 year old David McNeil AND 39 year old Amanda McNeil because she had her 8 year old around all this stuff.
The Mad Hatter is still behind bars pending a half a million dollar bond, but the other 2 have already posted theirs and all are expected in court later this week.
Round 2
We've heard how much copper is in a FLOCK camera, but what about an entire county communication system?
Shortly after a summer storm ripped through parts of Hawkins County downing trees, power lines and injuring 3 people, an unnamed man saw an opportunity
And instead of taking a chainsaw to help with debris this unneighborly jackwagon decided to steal stuff.
And not average every day stuff—he stole equipment used in 2 Way Radio transmissions
Cavity Filters, dehydrators and even electronics coolers, basically everything in a radio site not bolted down and small enough to carry.
According to the Sheriff, they have a suspect in custody and based on the evidence they found, I'd say they got their man.
What's unknown at the time of this recording is if he was working alone.
Now, I get Crack heads and capitalism dont always mix, but whatever happened to honor among thieves?
Your town just had a weather emergency, go steal a catalytic converter or something, not communication systems
That's 2 down with 1 to go and this next story involves applying some public pressure, if you want to help spread the word, smash those buttons right there!
Round 3
Over the weekend Proverbs 12:10 animal rescue got a call about 2 injured cats at the local gas station
But these cats hadn't been hit by a car or mauled by an animal
They'd been pierced with a large blow dart,
Proverbs was able to rescue one, who seems to be doing great after surgery,
The cats apparently lived wooded area behind the store where there were once as many as 30
But now only 9 remain. The missing may have been darted or worse, as some are said to have had areas of their fur skinned
Erin Police announced they'd solved the case and seized the weapon, but locals seem to lack faith that the Justice system will take it seriously.
So, if you live in Erin or anywhere in Houston County, I recommend you apply pressure—this is sadistic behavior and civilized society shouldnt tolerate it.
