Something is going on in East Tennessee

The FBI has raided the Sevier County Courthouse in Sevierville (Dolly Parton's hometown, just FYI)> Nobody can get any further information.

All three Knoxville TV stations, and that's all I got. The newspaper site has nothing, which is usual for them. This could be interesting/ As Rachel says, watch this space.

From the second link:

"Those at the courthouse trying to pay car tags were told to come back at another time due to computer trouble."

Computer trouble? Or computer seizure? Are other other courthouse offices open? Be interesting to see how this develops.

It ain't gonna be computer troubles. Seizure, maybe. But I think it's something BIG.
