Round 1
First up, I dont think The purple lobster is going to be very happy.
Yesterday it was announced that Matthew Vedder, the Montgomery County Teacher who showed a student inappropriate photos, was indicted
The photos were shown to a 17 year old female during class earlier this year and Vedder claims it was all an accident
He claims he was attempting to show the student other photos on his phone of a project he'd been working on
while the student and her family say they dont buy it
To make things more complicated, vedder is married to the director of the local school system, and that may have brought politics into it
While raising awareness to the issue, Anonymous profiles attacked the father and accused him of "tearing the community apart"
And yet, Despite the best efforts of State Representative Purple Lobster to shut the family up — Persistence does pay off
Vedder turned himself in and was booked on 4 misdemeanor counts of exhibition of obscene materials
Not long after he was released on a $10,000 bond pending his day in court — which EVERYONE is entitled to.
Round 2
Next, Have you noticed shoplifters getting more brazen over the last few years?
Well yesterday Kingsport police released video of what appears to be the most confident shoplifter I've ever seen
The video shows miss spaghetti strap waltz in the front door of a local store without even bothering to hold the door open for the people behind her.
Then, she grabs herself a big old box from an endcap and it's here she seems to question her purchase
Is this REALLY what she really wants to spend her hard earned money on?
Well it SEEMS that the young woman may have found the perfect workaround to buyer's remorse
After deciding she couldnt live without whatever's in the big ole box, the woman picks it up and then browsed the rest of the store grabbing a few other items
After picking up almost 1 of everything in the store the video cuts to her walking towards the exit, boxes stacked higher than willie nelson
Kingsport police say if you recognize the young woman, contact them with this reference number.
Can we address the real crime here though—who decided wearing socks with sandals was in style?
That's 2 stories down with 1 to go, and we are trying to grow our audience to ALL of Tennessee, so could ya help us out and share this post to a local group or two?
Round 3
And last yesterday a handful of Tennessee residents were ordered to evacuate their homes after a chemical truck tipped over nearby
The tanker was traveling down highway 141 in Trousdale County carrying tetrahydrafuron
Carrying what?
Tetrahydrafuron, a flammable industrial solvent used in manufacturing plastics and was headed to the IPS glue plant in Hartsville
Because of the danger things might go BOOM, residents within a half mile of the area were instructed to evacuate
Fortunately, the mess was cleaned up within a few hours and the road is back open
And though the sheriff's office doesnt mention any risk of lingering danger,
maybe don't throw your smokes out the window for the next few days.
Ya know, just in case
I have friends in the area
