TRUCKER TRADES RIG FULL OF LUNCH MEAT FOR CRACK

An Arkansas truck driver has pleaded guilty to trading $50,000 worth of lunch meat for crack cocaine. Larry Ron Bowen was sentenced on Monday to a year of inpatient drug treatment and six years of probation. Bowen, 45, was hired last June to deliver $50,000 worth of lunch meat to locations in Alabama and Florida. But when the truck went missing for three days, the company that hired Bowen used the truck’s GPS to locate it at a service station in Memphis. Police officers found Bowen near the truck eating a lunch meat sandwich. The refrigerated trailer holding the lunch meat was gone and the tires on the cab had been replaced with cheaper ones. Bowen told police he stopped at the service station three days earlier and had “inadvertently” traded the rig to two men who offered him crack cocaine. It is unclear exactly how much crack was traded for the truck of lunch meat.
* He’d rather have the crack than a trailer full of deli ham? Guy’s an idiot.
* Spoiler alert! No, really – that lunch meat is probably spoiled by now.
* Wasn’t that an old country song? “A Rig Full of Lunch Meat”? Sure, I think it’s by Johnny Cash.
* Frankly this whole story sounds like boloney.
* As if they needed more to bust this guy, they find him actually eating a lunch meat sandwich?
* We have a new category of dumb criminal here: the lunch meat head.
