Jet Moses Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 KPD: Brew thief runs down Weigel's clerk News Sentinel staff Originally published 03:58 p.m., December 22, 2008 Updated 03:58 p.m., December 22, 2008 A beer run gone bad left the clerk of a North Knoxville convenience store hospitalized after an alleged brew thief and his female companion ran him down in the parking lot, according to the Knoxville Police Department. The incident happened at the Weigel's at 6532 Maynardville Highway about 9:33 p.m. Sunday, said KPD Lt. Jerry Armstrong. A man in his early 20s wearing a black shirt, cap and jeans stole an 18-pack of beer, Armstrong said. The store's clerk, 29-year-old Travis Lee Edwards, chased him outside and crossed in front of a white sedan as the suspect got inside the car. The driver of the car - a heavyset woman in her 20s with shoulder-length "dirty blonde" hair - accelerated and ran over the clerk, Edwards, Armstrong said. Edwards was taken to the University of Tennessee Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries, Armstrong said. More complete descriptions of the suspects and car weren't available, according to Armstrong. Anyone with information is asked to call KPD at 215-7212, he said. More details as they develop online and in Tuesday's News Sentinel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Moses Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Someone was watching too much Smokey and the Bandit. Run a guy over for an 18 pack? The woman behind the wheel should have gone inside, I bet she could have grabbed at least two 30 Packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
