SODDY-DAISY, HAMILTON COUNTY (WRCB) Police say a Soddy-Daisy man tried to burn down the house because his mom wouldn't take him on a beer run.
Edward Cothran is charged with aggravated arson.
His mother says her son had been drinking all day Sunday, and asked her to take him to the store for more beer.
She wouldn't, and says he knocked over a propane heater, catching the carpet on fire.
She eventually took Cothran to the store, but decided to call police when she got home.
Cothran told police the heater fell over on its own.
Old friend of mine (a big guy) got drunk and carried an Amana side-by-side refrigerator up three flights of stairs by himself.
I hope someone was there for him when he woke up the next day wondering why he couldn’t move and his head felt as if it were the size of a basketball.
Now, if this poreoleboy had stuck to bourbon, sourmash, rye or moonshine there would have been NO reason for a beer run.
Guess his momma just never imparted the proper values.
.... she could have offered him an amusing Chardonnay while they discussed this difference of opinion.
> an amusing Chardonnay
Ah, you Yankees are so sophisticated.
And I thought all Chardonnay was one pissy and boring whine.
Swarthy, you need to hang out with Shermy more. A respectable Chardonnay, particularly with notes of citrus and vanilla, served just 10 degrees under room temperature, dry, yet with hints of good fruit, is the perfect companion on a beer run.
At least my Mamá always thought so, and we lost damn few houses to propane fires.
Where’s a “COPS” camera crew when you really, really need them?
