Beef Heist Hits Tennessee Plant

A bogus trucking company stole 80,000 pounds of beef worth $350,000 from a meatpacking plant near Avondale in Grainger County last week.

Two shipments, which were intended to be sent to Kentucky and Michigan, never made it to the customers.

The hauls were subcontracted to a company called “List Trucking Sales,” whose contact—identified as “Ahmed Wengy”—has since gone dark.

Police say the drivers’ IDs were never verified, and the company’s info appears to be fake. No arrests have been made.

Severe Weather Expected Into Monday AM

Tennessee was forecast to experience a powerful round of severe thunderstorms Sunday night, which were expected to sweep through the state and potentially bring large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes.

The storms were expected to begin in western Tennessee around 9 p.m., reach the I-65 corridor by 11 p.m., and hit the Plateau by 2 a.m., with Middle Tennessee under an Enhanced Risk.

This dangerous nighttime event was anticipated to end before sunrise Monday.

On Wednesday, a new storm system is forecast to bring another threat of severe thunderstorms to parts of Tennessee, with a focus on areas from Nashville northward and westward.
