Round 1
A multi-day 💀 and robbery spree may have finally ended in West TN after William Corey Houge was taken into custody.
Friday Jackson Police began searching for this man, who entered Ridgecrest Cellars in Jackson TN while wearing a paintball mask,
He left with a pocket full petty cash but took the life of the store clerk, Mr Patel, in the process.
But the crime spree was apparently only getting started
Saturday night the Exxon Market in Bells was also held up
and once again a store clerk was left 💀 in cold blood.
The FBI, TBI, JPD, and CCSD all began collaborating and at some point identified Corey as the suspect.
When Jackson Police attempted a traffic stop, Corey fled, leading to a high speed chase that ended in a crash in the Burger King parking lot
Still, Corey wasnt finished.
He ran away and attempted to 🥷 🚗 a customer before police finally took him down.
Houge's most recent mugshot had not been released at the time of this recording, but an old one was available and a Family member confirmed it's one in the same.
They also extended their condolences to the families who lost loved ones and said corey suffered from paranoid schizophrenia for sometime
At this time Corey hasnt been formally charged for the 2 💀, but is being held on a slew of other charges related to the pursuit.
Round 2
A 20-year veteran of the Sevier County Sheriff's Department has been fired after allegedly getting tipsy while toting friday night.
Scottie Vineyard is said to have had him a swig or two during the football game Friday night with Seymour High
The odor was "detected" by "someone who had had contact with him" and they snitched, at least according to Sheriff Hodges.
Since Scottie showed up to the game strapped, driving a Sheriff's Office vehicle and wearing a badged polo—it didn't look good
Now, the Sheriff's page doesn't allow comments but Attorney Christmas posted about it and some locals seem skeptical.
Vineyard may have voted for the Sheriff's opponent and if so, Was this arrest payback?
Or did a Scottie just think he was untouchable and could get away with getting tipsy watching touchdowns?
Or was it both? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Round 3
Kingsport police are dealing with masked men of their own but these two seem to be more cosplayers than hardened criminals.
Video shows Two men dressed like 99 cent ninjas sneaking through an office unsuccessfully trying to evade the cameras.
They spend a few minutes crouched, rummaging through drawers looking for the loot
When they finally found it, the family dollar felons attempted their escape, but they spotted another camera.
Once again, they figured crouching would work and once again, they were wrong.Â
Though it's pretty blurry, if you know where Rocky & Tum Tum are hiding, let em know, the Kingsport Police are in hot pursuit.
