After crash, Tenn. trucker found with beer, heroin and Xanax
Feds: He's a threat to public safety
On March 17, 2016, tractor-trailer driver Jason L. Flynn made an illegal turn across traffic, causing an accident that left a passenger car wedged underneath his trailer and its driver in the hospital.
That incident led to the discovery of a host of violations. Georgia State Patrol officers responding to the crash found an open box of beer and several open beer cans in Flynn’s truck cab. A field sobriety test detected the presence of alcohol. The investigating officers also discovered, in Flynn’s truck: a bag of heroin, a syringe and needle and several pills of the prescription medication Xanax wrapped in plastic and hidden under the seat.
