Round 1
First it was tide pods, then cinnamon and creepy clowns, and now—children's book characters?
A tiktok trend that involves Ai generated images of a creepy Cat in the Hat along with targeted messages is sweeping the nation
Whether the targets are other students, teachers, or entire grades varies, but law enforcement says the prank is starting to cross the line
And now, a student at Warren County High has been arrested for making mass threats after participating in the prank
At first, I was curious how an Ai Cat in the Hat could be interpreted as a mass threat. I mean, how many high schoolers are afraid of Dr Seuss?
So we looked into it and found this post.
Not mentioned in the Sheriff's release is this picture of a pew pew along with the message "yall think yall bad"
That picture accompanied the Cat in the Hat depictions, adding much more legitimacy to the threat than just an Ai Dr Seuss tiktok trend
And now it all makes sense.
Kids, let this serve as a reminder that just because it's trending, doesnt mean it's trendy. Dont make threats, even if the cafeteria IS serving green eggs and ham.
Round 2
A case we've been following for over 3 years has finally come to a close.
Now former Tullahoma Alderman, Kurt Glick was arrested in 2023 on felony official misconduct charges that many have called bollocks from the start
The charges stem from an ordeal back in February of that year during a change in local leadership, where an employee was found shredding a 96 gallon trashcan full of documents while hiding in a closet
This was reported by the records retention officer and Glick and the Board Investigated, or… at least tried to
The DA announced a criminal investigation shortly before the vote, and those documents were seized as evidence preventing anyone from looking at them, even the board.
3 years later and of course, the only criminal charges that ever came from that investigation were levied against Glick, for his vote AFTER the documents were seized
Felony official misconduct all because he voted to place the closet shredder on paid leave.
If that doesnt make sense to you, it didnt to many others, either. And since the beginning Glick has maintained his innocence. Yesterday, he and his family finally got some well-deserved relief.
Now I'm sure you want to know, what was in the trash can? And I doubt it was Dr Seuss books
But now that the trial is over, Ive already submitted my request to inspect them. We'll report back with what we find.

Round 3
Why is it always the ones meant to help doing the most harm?
The TBI needs to spread the word after this man, Robert Bailey, was indicted by a grand jury in Davidson County.
Allegedly while working as a social worker at Centennial Hospital he SA'd 2 patients.
His indictments include 1 count of grape and 1 count of egg-sual battery, but the TBI suspects there are more victims
If you know of anyone who had unpleasant experiences with Mr Bailey while at Centennial, call the TBI and let them know so that this never happens again!
