What if you had an unexpected 4,000 lb guest come to visit?
Hi, I’m Daniel Wagner with the Patriot Punk Network, giving you the latest Tennessee news in 3 minutes or less.
This is our Today in Tennessee Segment (brought to you by EstateofCreative)… Local, ready‑to‑go furniture, restored and ready for you.
Round 1:
Since 2020, deputies have been called to 548 Peach Road in Dyersburg about 90 times, including five overdoses and an overdose death this January.
Not to mention multiple arrests of the owner, family, and “guests.”
Three children connected to the home have tested positive for math in the last two years, and the Department of Children’s Services has logged 21 referrals and removed several kids from that environment.
As a result, a judge has now declared the property a public nuisance and ordered it boarded up.
However, the homeowner will get a shot to argue her case in court on March 24th to explain why their house is NOT a nuisance.
While nost folks worry about their HOA sending a letter over tall grass; this lady just got a notice from the judge saying ‘your entire house is the problem.’
So what do you think she’s gonna say? ‘other than that, Your Honor, we’re great neighbors’
Round 2:
In Covington, a family was sitting at home when suddenly they got some unexpected company… a maroon Nissan X‑Terra.
The driver, 31‑year‑old Dominick Pegues of Somerville had crashed into the residence, hitting a wall next to a room where four kids, ages 4 to 10, were inside… one of which was reported to have sustained minor injuries.
Immediately, the driver was assaulted by the homeowner, Mr. Dimitrius Daniels… and, who could blame him.
Daniel's cited Pegues' aggressive behavior and heightened emotional state as reasons for his assault on the disoriented driver.
But wait! There's more!
During the investigation, officers found Pegues' Tennessee driver’s license had been revoked and observed signs of intoxication, including the wet driver's seat from a spilled beverage.
There was about $15k worth of damage to the home.
Daniels was cited with simple assault and Pegues was charged with all of this. Pay special attention to how many times he's been charged with driving while revoked:
You know what they always say, though… the 8th time is the charm!
That's 2 stories down and one to go.

Round 3:
In Nashville, lawmakers are looking at how high local governments can crank up your property taxes without asking you first.
Senator Bo Watson’s bill, SB2064, would block cities and counties from raising real‑property tax revenue by more than inflation plus 2 percent per year—or over a three‑year stretch—unless voters approve it in an election.
Representative Bud Hulsey’s companion bill, HB2607, basically sets the same cap and requires a referendum for anything above it, with any approved higher rate limited to four years.
Backers say Tennessee is one of just a few states with no local property tax cap and argue this would protect homeowners from big surprise hikes.
City and county officials, on the other hand, are already grumbling that it could tie their hands when costs jump or emergencies hit.
The property tax debate has basically now become a tug‑of‑war between “let the locals fund what they need” and “hey, maybe stop treating homeowners like an ATM without asking."
