According to the story, Sherer approached vendors preparing for Sunday’s Emory Healthcare 500. The vendors notified police that he tried to sell them a .22-caliber pistol. Before he was caught by police, he traded the gun for a pair of tickets to the race.When approached by police, he identified himself using his alleged victim’s name. Upon further questioning, he admitted his real name and was arrested on outstanding warrants relating to both his original charges and escaping the jail.The gun, which was allegedly stolen from the homicide victim, has not been found.
Did the article happen to mention if the murder he is accused of happened after an Alabama loss?
I'm not sure the archives go that far back.
:rolleyes:I imagine we can find some from the Utah game.
Stop living in the past.
