Dragon to get Patrol cycle unit
Interesting news story about additional support from State patrol. Looks like there are more things to watch our for on the Tennessee side.

"Troopers last year responded to four wrecks involving injuries on U.S. 129 in Swain County and 20 in Graham County. Troopers wrote one speeding ticket in Swain County and 91 in Graham County."
Only 91 speeding tickets last year? Wonder if that is just the THP or if that includes Blount County officers also?

I think that was just WSB and Mocky!
I know... what connections?
They would have probably thrown Jeff in jail!

Dang... would have thought Mocky with his connections would have gotten out of the tickets!

"A lot of it is about public relations," Norville said of using the motorcycle unit in the mountains. "We just try to explain to (motorcyclists) that this is not the road that they're used to because most of them are coming here from Illinois or Ohio where there are no curves or hills.
"They come to the mountains and they're not used to these curvy roads, and they get themselves in a bad situation quick."
