Round 1
First the sad news,
Around 9am yesterday morning Carter County Sheriff's Office received a call about a bad accident involving Cyclists near this stretch of Highway 19
The Cyclists were part of Milligan University's world class cycling team.
And 2 of the students, Haylan INGDOLL and Brayden Rogers passed while still on scene
7 others were taken to the hospital
Current reports indicate only 1 has been released so far
At a press conference late last night DA Steven Finney confirmed the driver of the vehicle that hit them, 69 year old John Benfield had been arrested
He's currently charged with 2 counts of reckless vehicular unaliving & 5 counts aggravated asphalt, with nothing indicating intoxication or malicious intent
though the DA stressed more charges could be added as the investigation develops.
Round 2
People usually get upset about boys playing girl's sports, but it's a teenage girl who's facing charges after playing tackle football with the boys
It happened in Tuesday in Franklin County where the South Trojans faced off against the Cornersville Bulldogs
In a clip posted online, you see a small scuffle break out on the field and a few flags get thrown
Seems like a perfectly normal middle school football game–That's until a female student rushes the field.
She runs towards one of the South Trojan players and CLOBBERS him
He gets up quick, but she's quicker and down again he goes
The adults rushed in and ordered her off the field where an SRO took control.
It appears she may have kicked him too, which would explain why he was holding his face at the end.
Turns out the girl was a 16 year old high school student from Marshall County
it's unclear why she felt the need to throw down with a middle schooler, But if you've got the tea, you're obligated to share!
She's been charged with asphalt and banned from all Franklin County School property for LIFE.
But it's not all bad, with all this exposure, I hear she might land a linebacker position with the Titans
I mean, they've tried everything else right?
That's 2 stories down with 1 to go, tag one of your friends who likes to argue about boys in girls sports and let's get a discussion going!
Round 3
A Nashville man is facing his 3rd DEWEY after wrecking more than just his future
A press release says 2 metro officers were responding to a call of a pedestrian in the road off neelys bend
They had their lights on, and were standing outside the cars when suddenly a vehicle veered towards them,
narrowly missing 1 of the officer and hitting BOTH cars.
The dodge ram pick up sped off and was found shortly after WRECKED about 2 miles away.
Seen running away from the accident was James Rose, who, according to police, was also WRECKED.
After a short chase Rose was detained by Canine officer Smith and his dog Talon!
Now, instead of downing drinks at the dive bar, James is doing a weekend cleanse at the Metro's very own Gray Bar
The tab to get out, at least temporarily, is only $48 grand, but keep in mind that doesnt include the mandatory gratuity and hidden fees that come with damaging 2 cruisers.
