What a dope to carry around $117,000 in cash.
Hasn't he ever heard of American Express?
I think he had $100,000 on him last time he was arrested, too. He must have every armed robber in the state looking for him.
It doesn't mention how much he won. It does say it was a record sum. Why couldn't he splurge $2 on a nicer shirt?
$315 million
What a dumba$$!
Just hire a driver and buy a limo to solve the problem before it becomes one (again)
Money does make people stupid.
You'd be suprized how many loto winners end up just as poor as they were before, and on dialysis. Some people just weren't meant to have money. This guy looks like he's heading in that direction, or worse, a pine box.
..which would be a dirt road if not for this other West Virginia Jackass.
What's the over/under on when Jack makes his last stupid mistake?
I give the guy 24 months, tops. He's going to show off that pretty little boot gun at some bar somewhere and some cop or some "business associate" is going to show him something in a somewhat larger caliber.
Jack likes to pay in cash.
What can we say? He also likes cheap whiskey and strippers too.
Please, not all West Virginians are Jed Clampett wannabee morons like Jack Whittaker. Some of us have real jobs and dont hang out in bars with guns in their boots.
BTW, this is second offense DUI. That means six months in jail and I think a 2 year revocation of his license. Who knows...that might be a good thing.
Getting an involuntary drying-out period might save the man's life. Who knows?
Never said they were. The one autograph in my collection that means the most to me is that of Gen. Chuck Yeager, another Ridge Runner.
He'd hire someone to drive him to the stripper bars.
Hope he can hire somebody to take the bullet for him the first time he gets a snootful and waves that shiny little boot gun around in a bar or near a cop.
It was a little North American Arms 22 mini revolver. I've been told about this gun by people who know him. All that gun is going to do is piss someone off.
I need to Google ".45 derringer" - for some reason, I seem to remember one actually being retailed long ago.
West Virginia
'Nuff said.
There are many 45 derringers.
Try BOND ARMS.
I wouldn't own a derringer on a bet. They're inherently inaccurate. My carry weapon is a Colt 1911A1. (And I don't hang out in bars, especially while packing).
