Police Tend To Notice Something Like a Guy Dragging a Coke Machine Down The Road

Oh Tennessee, you have been in rare form recently. The latest tale comes to us courtesy of Nicholas Nunley, who hooked a Coke machine to his pickup outside a Dollar General then began dragging it down the road.

Amazingly, an eyewitness noticed the one truck on the road with a vending machine engulfed in sparks dragging behind, and called the police. Apparently unfamiliar with the effect of drag, Nunley tried unsuccessfully to evade capture. After a Taser relaxation session, Nunley was hauled off to prison, where he is undoubtedly comparing notes with the Hill family from Walmart. [NBC-2 via Arbroth via Neatorama]

Apparently genius boy here "needed some money." So, apparently, the obvious solution was to rip off a vending machine at a store in a small town for it's change. As Bill Engval says "Heeeere's your sign!"

Here's the story according to local news.

You would hope. Otherwise, he’s just naturally stupid.

If he was really a southerner it would have been an RC Cola machine and he would have been eating a banana Moon Pie!
