Round 1

First, Did you party hard on Cinco de Mayo? No matter how hard you partied, it's safe to say you've been outdone.

By a teenager of course.

18 year old Jaden Rue wasnt partying with margaritas though, instead he had his lady friend Mary Jane with him

Jaden and his skunky little lady friend were driving around Hamilton County in their brand new stolen Kia when a sheriff's deputy saw them.

He looked at the vehicle and was like

Hey, I think thats the stolen car!

So he got behind them.

When he attempted to stop the vehicle Jaden decided nothing was gonna ruin his buzz and put the petal to the metal

He probably should have just pulled over instead, because he discovered pretty quickly that a Kia sedan can't outrun a radio.

After spike strips and a pit maneuver, Rue was taken into custody and spent the rest of his holiday with a relaxing stay in the Hamilton County gray bar hotel.

He was charged with high driving, evading arrest, & theft.

Word of advice Jaden, steal something with more horsepower next time you want to try your luck at outrunning Hamilton County's finest.

Round 2

Next, Did you know there was a special forces fugitive on the loose? Keyword: WAS

Yesterday a 5-day manhunt in Stewart county that involved agencies up to & including the US Marshals came to an end.

Craig Berry, former special forces, had been hiding in the woods for 5 days after nearly unaliving his wife in a domestic situation.

When police arrived the man legged it into the woods, where he gave police the slip. Even the K9.

For several days Stewart County law enforcement, along with other agencies, searched the Grays landing area between 232 & River Trace Road hoping to find him.

They say Berry was armed, wearing camo and had extensive survivalist training making him one of the more difficult suspects to hunt down.

And Yesterday it all came to a close when they found him. Or, at least his lifeless body.

Found laying in the woods It appears Berry pulled his own plug. No further information is available and all questions are being directed to the US Marshals Service.

Two stories down only 1 more to go, and Im curious. How long do you think you could survive in the woods?

Round 3

And last another story out of tullahoma involving dogs

Tullahoma codes department posted a picture yesterday that looked like the inside of an episode of Hoarders.

Accompanying the photo was a thank you to the local animal shelter who helped them rescue 9 dogs from some exceptionally unsanitary conditions.

For those asking, no, usually you dont have to worry about the codes department knocking on your door to inspect your Sunday cleaning.

I mean, it's no one's business where you leave your underoos.

But, when your house starts to become a literal danger to the community around you because of the neglect, that's when they have to intervene.

Dont get me wrong, we've all heard horry stories about codes departments, but in this case, it's a job well done

And If you're interested in a new pet I recommend you check shelters first
