Hi I'm Chase Matheson with the Patriot Punk Network bringing you the latest TN News in 3 minutes or less
This is our Today in Tennessee Segment
Sponsored by Turklay Law,
And yes, he handles divorces, too.
Round 1
What would you think if someone FORGOT they were married?
Well yesterday we received a tip that an elected official had just revised 5 years worth of income disclosures for presumably that very reason.
Before I go any further, I know revising one of these is perfectly common. People make mistakes
But what's much LESS common are for these revisions to come just days after your marriage certificate goes public
Ya see Wednesday Erik Hammock released a copy of a marriage license for Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris
This license confirmed the rumor that in 2022 Farris had married his Human Resources Director, Tammy Carr.
This caused a local stir, as many of his supporters didnt know he had remarried, let alone to one of his employees
Well on June 2nd, the very next Tuesday. Farris went through and amended 5 years worth of disclosures,
adding Tammy as his spouse, disclosing multiple additional investments and swearing once again it was the whole truth and nothing but the truth
The only thing I didnt see on any of these amended forms was the extra property they bought together in 2023
Which Earlier this year sold for 3 times more than they paid for it.
Idk if that counts as an investment, but Maybe we will see another amendment.
Because real estate doesnt count as a secondary residence if it sits empty—and empty patrol cars parked in the the driveway doesnt count as occupied.
Round 2
Next, Im sure you've heard that drone delivery is the next big thing
But what if I told you Walmart has drones doing security now?
Dont worry, Im not talking about robot dog receipt checkers
But yesterday Bartlett Police posted on social media that Walmart will soon have SECURITY DRONES in their parking lot.
Reps from Walmart Emerging Technology, Skydio & Axon were in town showing local associates how they work.
And how WILL they work, exactly?
Unfortunately they wont be zapping shoplifters with laser beams or chasing down runaway shopping carts
Instead these drones will be used for emergencies, sporting an impressive 30-second response time
They will spend most of their time docked on the roof and when they are used wll be controlled by trained pilots at Walmarts home office.
I kinda feel like Walmart's just pulled a pawn stars—
I know you said you wanted more cashiers, but the best I can do is drones on the roof!
Are we finally entering the dystopian future Orwell promised?
That's 2 stories down with 1 to go, and it would really help us out if you pushed those buttons riiiiight there.
That way we keep popping up on your feed with TN Truthbombs .
Round 3
Last Mt Juliet police and metro scored them a 2-for
Yesterday morning Mt Juliet police noticed a suspicious man walking down the road near the Davidson county line
While watching this guy, police saw him throw a plastic baggie on the ground and of course the officer had to take a peak
*what do you know, p—-*
Naturally he started questioning the character and instead of exercising his right to remain silent
The 18 year old went ahead and confessed to burglarizing some cars just down the road in Davidson.
They also found several of the stolen items on him & a few IDs from the victims.
Mt Juliet let metro take the garbage home with them. But when I went to find his mugshot in recent arrests, the only 18 year old booked in that time frame was listed as "Expunged"
