Bad Driver! No Biscuit! Police in Mount Carmel, Tenn., were on the lookout for a car involved in a theft. An officer spotted the car and tried to pull it over, but the driver refused to stop. Then, Asst. Chief Mike Campbell says, “He turned into Hardee’s, pulls up to the drive-through and rolls the window down like he’s going to order a biscuit.” Pursuing officers didn’t wait for him to order. “They had the car surrounded with guns drawn at the drive-through. They had to forcibly get him out of the car.” Among other charges, Jeffery Lynn Drinnon, 30, was booked for driving under the influence of alcohol.
