Two of the victims in this morning’s attempted armed robbery have spoken with The Knoxville News Sentinel about the incident and — to be honest — their comments make the whole thing sound even weirder.

Corey Zickefoose told the paper that the man who approached their car with a gun wasn’t overly aggressive.  “I could just tell he wasn’t going to shoot me.  He didn’t have too much authority.”

Zickefoose said that he and the two other men in the car showed the robbers their empty wallets.

“I said, ‘Sorry, we don’t have anything to give you.”  The men even offered the robbers a cheeseburger, “but they didn’t take that,” said Corey Smith.

As for the woman driving the getaway Prius?  “She was smiling, with a big grin on her face.”

Well, she WAS charged with simple drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia… so that might explain the smile on her face.

Bizarre.



Meanwhile, The Sentinel’s John Adams writes that this is a perfect opportunity for Lane Kiffin to “prove he can walk the walk.”



And finally, according to Knoxville radio host Jimmy Hyams a source involved in the case has said that when the football players were asked why they did what they did, they said, “We were bored.”

Smart.
