RICEVILLE, TN – A man was arrested after leading cops on a high-speed chase – while dragging a soda machine!
McMinn County police received a call early in the morning reporting a strange sight on the road. An eyewitness reported seeing a truck drive by, dangerously dragging a soda machine behind it!
Deputies were soon in pursuit of the truck and the machine, but the man would not stop. It was not until after the machine had finally broken off did police force him off the road.

According to police, Nicholas Nunley decided to hook the Coke machine to his truck and steal it from outside a general store.
“The gentleman told our officers that he was needing some money,” said McMinn County Sheriff Steve Frisbie.
Unfortunately for the criminal, he lost his freedom over very little money. “It’s a machine that sits out front, I wouldn’t think a whole lot of change is gonna be in there,” said Sheriff Frisbie.
Nunley had to be tased after resisting arrest, and is now in custody with numerous charges.
Big Deal. But, if a SODA MACHINE stole a MAN, then THAT would be a story worthy of the Weekly World news.
Can I have a coke?
