Manhunt Ends With Drummond’s Arrest

Austin Drummond, the man accused of killing four people in Tiptonville, was captured Tuesday morning in Jackson, ending a weeklong manhunt.

The victims—three from the same family—included a mother, her two children, and her daughter’s boyfriend; their infant was found unharmed in a nearby yard.

Surveillance footage and tips from residents led officers to a wooded area where Drummond was arrested without incident.

Authorities believe the attack was targeted. He faces four counts of first-degree murder, and three others have been charged with helping him avoid capture.

Laws Now in Effect for Schools

Tennessee schools are rolling out a slate of new laws this fall, with changes ranging from digital safety to daily recess.

Middle and high schoolers will now receive lessons on internet use, artificial intelligence, and on the “success sequence”—a life path promoting education, work, marriage, and family.

All K–5 students are now guaranteed 40 minutes of daily unstructured recess, tripling the previous 15-minute requirement, to support physical and mental well-being.

Cell phones and wireless devices are banned during instructional time, with some schools requiring them to be locked in pouches until dismissal to reduce distractions and curb cyberbullying.

Dogs Deployed to Detect Invasive Insects

Two specially trained dogs, Winnie and Marcel, are now on duty in Tennessee, sniffing out Spotted Lanternflies—a fast-spreading invasive insect threatening vineyards and hardwoods.

Fresh out of the USDA’s National Detector Dog Training Center, they are now working at retail inspections and nursery zones in Knoxville and Mt. Juliet—near the state’s worst-infested area.

With one confirmed detection in Sumner County, their noses are already paying off.

Officials warn that the Spotted Lanternfly spreads by hitching rides on vehicles and gear, urging residents to squash bugs and report sightings.

From a Caltech Garage to a $1 Trillion Market

In 2016, some innovative Caltech robotics students set out to transform fast food. That first garage-built prototype became Miso Robotics.

Since then, Miso’s robots have worked 200K+ hours in live kitchens for brands like White Castle, frying over 4 million baskets of fries, chicken, and more. That traction convinced NVIDIA, Uber AI, and Amazon to help refine Miso’s AI and robots. As restaurants grapple with 144% employee turnover rates and $20/hour minimum wages, that’s a major edge.

It’s no wonder Miso’s first fully commercial robot, Flippy Fry Station, sold out of initial units in one week.

Now, Miso is going nationwide and scaling its U.S.-based manufacturing across a $4 billion/year revenue opportunity. As an investor, you can get up to 8% bonus stock.

Just don’t wait too long; Miso’s share price will change on Aug. 14.

“One of the Largest Industries Ever”

That’s what NVIDIA’s CEO said about robotics. And the numbers back it up. In Q4 2024, the sector raised more capital than in all of 2023.

So it’s a big deal that NVIDIA, Uber AI, and Amazon helped Miso Robotics perfect Flippy, its new fully commercial kitchen robot. No wonder initial units sold out in one week.

Miso already has 200K+ hours under its belt for brands like White Castle. With the $1 trillion fast-food industry facing 144% employee turnover rates, Flippy provides 24/7 labor and can boost profits by up to 3X.

Miso is scaling its US-based manufacturing to seize a $4 billion/year revenue opportunity. As an investor, you can get up to 8% bonus stock.

Just don’t wait too long. Miso’s share price changes on Aug. 14.
