Bad things happen when you break all the rules
Hi I'm Chase Matheson with the Patriot Punk Network bringing you the latest TN News in minutes or less This is our Today in Tennessee Segment Sponsored by Estate of Creative, high quality sofas at affordable prices.
Round 1
Ever have a child who REFUSES to listen?
Like if you tell them to do something, they do the exact opposite.
Well, that's That's Sterling.
Over the weekend EVERY Sheriff's Office in TN was telling you not to drive drunk over the Super Bowl weekend.
Just like that stubborn kid with his fingers in his ears, Sterling didn't listen.
He climbed behind the wheel of his car—inebriated—despite having a suspended license.
Then, about 8 o'clock police received multiple reports that a vehicle was running people off the road.
When they caught up to him and attempted to pull him over, he
once again,
refused to listen and drove away.
After a short pursuit, just like when your kid doesnt listen to YOU,
something bad happened.
He rear ended a car.
But did touching the proverbial hot stove deter Sterling?
Of Course not! And he tried to drive away again!
Police finally stopped him using a "legal maneuver"
*glad they didnt stop him illegally*
And THIS was the car afterwards:
Wrecked, just like Sterling, allegedly.
The only thing dumber than Sterling's decisions here was his luck. He escaped the entire thing with barely a scratch and wearing a grin.
Now, it's up to the judge to see if he can break this guy's Sterling Reputation.
Round 2
Speaking of breaking all the rules
The Department of Labor has found the workplace conditions "UNSAFE" at a middle TN Trash Center. But it's too little too late.
Last month we broke the story of Mrs Jennifer Ellison who tragicly passed away while working for the Putnam County government as a truck driver for the solid waste facility.
The truck was parked on a hill after dropping off a load when workers used a 42,000lbs CAT loader to close a sticking door.
A common practice according to the Director.
The truck rolled and Mrs Ellison was crushed between the side of the vehicle & a concrete retaining wall trying to reach the brakes.
Friday we released maintenance reports showing the rear brakes were repaired only 1 week after Mrs Ellison's death, and it appears they were probably shot to bits.
Today we added this to that story.
It's a notice from the State finding Putnam County in SERIOUS violation.
This wont provide any closure for Mrs Ellisons family who are still mourning her passing, but hopefully it will act as a wake up call before another employee loses their life due to unsafe workplace practices.
The county has until March to abate these reports.
Read the full report on our website and if you know of corruption, dont hesitate to reach out to us 😉
Round 3
Today's last reminder of why you should follow the rules comes from Clinton.
Yesterday Clinton PD responded to the scene of the worst parking job all year.
Leslie Donegan Jr was driving down Clinch Ave when for some reason they veered off the road, flew thru the air and landed gracefully on THIS front porch.
I know what you're thinking, female drivers right?
Wrong,
Leslie is a dude and he was booked for driving uninsured and on a suspended.
He made bond late last night, and since Leslie has already proven he doesnt care about driving without a license, you may want to keep an eye on YOUR front porch, just in case.
