“I’ve done nothing wrong,” he told WRDW. “I don’t know no prisoner in Jefferson County. Didn’t know of no detail that day. That was months and months ago. I don’t even remember that day. Who remembers what they doing every day?” he told the outlet.
You can't possibly expect people to remember every ditch they've left booze in. Free my man.
lmao this guy rules
According to the indictment, Cranford drove to Rimpy’s Store and bought a 750 milliliter bottle of Seagram’s Extra Dry Gin and left it in a ditch along Cobbham Road in the path of a work crew of state prisoners from the Jefferson County Correctional Institution.
We spoke to one of the workers who says Cranford is a regular.
“At least twice a week? Sometimes it might be three, but usually, at least twice a week,” said Ivie.
Damn, why can't I have a cool Mayor
the only US politician who's ever seemed relatable. A true everyman
A chicken in every pot and a bottle of booze in every ditch.
I'm saying we should flood the governor's office with phone calls demanding he be reinstated and given a goddamn raise
that inmate is a snitch smh
Prolly the horse mounted officer saw the road gang was a little too enthusiastic and got suspicious
worker at the store is the one quoted, i think. i guess he's the mayor so you'd remember, but this means all that work i did cycling stores so none of the staff knew i was an alcoholic was time well spent
Woof. Seagrams Gin. I had some rough nights on that stuff.
how do they know it was him what
"Who remembers what they doing every day?” he told the outlet.
real talk, this has been something that has haunted me since I saw my first detective show as a child, especially considering the way direct questions tend to make all knowledge vanish from my head
if I'm ever investigated for a thing, I'm in so much trouble, because idk that I've ever once, in my whole life, had a decent, normal-sounding response to "what've you been up to?"
"talk to my lawyer" is a good one
yup. the only answer you ever need to have prepared for the cops is, "I would like to speak to a lawyer." Anything else you might want to say to a cop will be explained to you by your lawyer.
I can't even remember the ditch I passed out in yesterday much less last month
