Suwanee Police arrested a motorist who obviously hadn’t taken drivers education. If he had, he likely would have successfully unloaded the stuff he was carrying.
But he didn’t.
Last Friday, Officer Joe Burnette arrested the driver of a silver Jeep Liberty for running a red light. He made the arrest at Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road and I-85, in the Suwanee Gateway area.
Inside the car were the driver and his passenger, and a load of bootleg T-shirts. The two men were headed to Bristol, Tennessee, carrying 1,032 T-shirts with NASCAR on them and 66 Kid Rock shirts, valued at $11,310.
Arrested were Kenneth Wayne Johnson, 28, of Atlanta and Reggie Lamar Jones, 34, of Bowman, SC, according to Capt. Clyde Byers of the Suwanee PD. They were charged with possession of counterfeit merchandise with intent to sell.

Everybody wants a piece of The ROCK don’t they?
Kenneth Wayne Johnson…isn’t he a Blues singer? No, wait that’s Kenny Wayne Shepherd…SORRY!
Capt. Clyde to the Rescue!
I know I’m being a smartass- but it sounds almost fictitious…Kenny Wayne, Reggie Lamar, bootleg T-shirts, NASCAR and Capt. Clyde. It just needs Waylon Jennings in the background-”Just two good ‘ol boys…” “Makin’ their way…the only way they know how…”
I wonder if the Jeep has a Dixie horn with Rebel Yell? CLASSIC!
I mean no disrespect -my entire family is from central Alabama-ROLL TIDE!
Great story…I know there has to be someone in your group journaling all of this shit!
Waffle Houses, bootleg T-shirts, various court dates- You will have to write a book at the end of this year…I mean it’s practically writing itself! Bookstores wouldn’t be able to keep it on the shelves! Of course, you’d have to have Wal-Mart sell them too!
See you at The Wharf!

I just wish that I had more chances to see Kid Rock! Vancouver Canada girl here and find he just doesn’t make it here often enough! Saw you at the Commodore…the absolute BEST type of venue to see any artist!!!
Going to be in Houston Texas next week…..so choked to see he’s in that southern area before and after my dates…
Kid, gonna be there Mar 26 to Mar 31 - any chance you will show at an unposted venue in southern Texas or Louisiana during those dates???

It just amazes me at how so many people these day’s are after the damn al mighty dollar.I mean they stoop very low to get what they want. Giving NO thought to others.They have no morals,no personal standards,no heart.I was at the Bristol concert standing in line and a officer came by and warned us there were people there selling bootleg merchandise.To those guilty of doingthat I say”WERE YOU NOT RAISED BETTER THAT THAT?!” Unfortunatly some were and just CHOOSE to do the things they do.Life is full of choices, I just wish more people would THINK and make better ones.I’ll also quote Kid from one of his songs”I ain’t no Saint, but I belive in what is RIGHT”.See you again soon Kid in May……
Peace & Luv, Corine

Can I get a clarification on the Germany dates?
Are you doing both Rock im Park (Rock in the Park) and Rock am Ring (Rock at the Ring)
or are you doing the “Park” twice?
And you’re seriously flying to Dublin in between? It’s official…you’re insane.

See? Even the “techies” want a piece of “The ROCK.”
It’s amazing what folks will infuse your name into…it’s like drafting on your name through “Google” searches.
