NBC station here just ran a story on an arrest near Dollar Tree in this shopping center. Showed video of a car search. The car had an Department of Army seal sticker on the back.

Anyone else have details?

ATF involment in anything tends to make me more than a little suspicious.

Maybe it was an interstate bootlegger with some mason jars full of white lightning and a couple of cases of cigarettes with no tax stamps.

Something just occurred to me. The news says "ATF", but it's been "BATFE" for how long now? Sloppy reporting or deliberate omission by LE?
