Round 1
First, not long ago safe spaces were all the rage. Every school and major city just HAD to have one.
Well Knoxville PD are hoping to set a new trend with their own branding — TLC zones.
Yes, TLC stands for Tender Loving Care,
and no, police are not handing out free teddy bears.
The aim of the TLC zones is to be proactive in areas with the most crime.
And, since the project was launched in late 2023, deletions are down dramatically
Year to date, pew pew crime is down 90%
This week they announced a new TLC zone in a 7.5 block area of the Lonsdale Community responsible for over 1600 calls in the last 2 years.
As of their press release, zero unalivings had been reported all year and Police say it may be the longest stretch without a game over since the late 1900s.
It's amazing what you can accomplish with a little proactive policing.
Round 2
Next, How would you like an entire year's worth of groceries for free?
Mt Juliet police once again busted Nashville criminals with a little of that proactive policing we were just speaking about.
Last night officers noticed a shady looking man in an SUV outside the Kroger in Providence
After a little observation it was discovered that 59 year old Kevin Tomlin & his accomplice 53 year old Yolonda Morrison had been walking out with buggies full of groceries.
Yes, buggies, plural. 6 in fact.
Totalling over $2,800.
Isnt gluttony one of the 7 deadly sins?
Both suspects were taken into custody, and the groceries, including the frozen lasagna, returned to the store.
I wonder if they put the groceries back on the shelf?
That's 2 stories down with 1 to go, tell us, would you buy groceries recovered from a theft and put back on the shelves?
Round 3
Last, the dope store is closed in McEwen
Over the last month Humphrey's County Sheriff's Office has been investigating an ice and Freddy ring and it all came to a head this week
They executed a search warrant in McEwen where they arrested 4 perps and seized more pew pews than youd find in a mega church
Along with enough rugs to wipe out the entire town, literally
In total they seized 70g of fent, 10g of Ice & 10 grams of those fun little mushrooms.
They were charged with all this and according to the press release more could be on the horizon.
Bonus Round
It's the last day of early voting
So far most counties have seen something like a 5% turnout and That means that positions like Mayor, Sheriff, & School Board could be decided by only a handful of votes.
Now this is just the primary, but in most places that's the race that really matters
With even small county budgets hitting the $100 million range, these elections shouldnt be decided without your input.
Voting takes 5 minutes, and it's good practice for the general election in August.
If you cant make it today, you've got 1 more shot next Tuesday, but that's Cinco de Mayo
So if you wanna make happy hour on the holiday, vote today. & Tune in for local results Tuesday night.
That's your TN News in under 3 minutes. For deep dives on local issues watch the Patriot Punkcast.
Last night we had candidate for White County Sheriff Daniel Trivette on.
