So There’s a Guy Whose Real Name Is “Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings”
If your real, legal name is Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings, the good news is you’re named after two of the most badass country music artists to ever suck air. The bad news if your Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings is that you were just arrested in Carroll County, Georgia on burglary charges after your getaway car ran out of gas. Oh, and the cops found methamphetamine and a stolen 9mm Ruger in the car with you.
According to the Times-Georgian—Carroll County’s trusted information leader since 1871—32-year-old Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings Scarborough of Villa Rica, GA was driving his PT Cruiser down the road Monday, 5/12 when it ran out of gas and was blocking traffic. Officers arrived and began to suspect something fishy when they saw a baggie in his car, and soon enough the gumshoes sniffed out that he was a suspect in the burglary of a weedeater from someone’s vehicle, and had meth and a stolen gun in his possession. Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings is also suspected in a string of other burgled vehicles, and turned out to be a convicted felon.
Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings was eventually booked on possession of methamphetamine, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and entering automobile with intent to commit theft.
“We think he may have broke into a few other vehicles, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet,” Capt. Jeff Richards of the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office said to the Times-Georgian. “We’re still investigating the case, so there could be more charges added.”
Sounds like the outlaw bit’s done got out of hand for one Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings. Hopefully he can get his life back together, and get back on the road again (arf arf).

Granted its a fictional character, but I came across a novel once on Google Books whose main character is named Waylon Jennings Garrett. I need to fine it again, I kinda want to read it now lol.

Without giving too much away, at a former job I ended up cleaning up a storage closet full of his stuff, including his driver’s license which listed his name as Willie Nelson Scarborough that was in a crown royal bag with a meth pipe fashioned out of a lightbulb.

Barbara Kingsolver’s “Pigs In Heaven” has a character named Johnny Cash Stillwater, at around 60 years of age, being so name by his mother because JC was her favorite.. The novel was published in 1993, when JC was only just over 60 himself! Duh.

I don’t know what’s worse him bringing shame to the Names of Willie Nelson an Waylon Jennings or the fact his name is Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings and he’s driving around in a PT Cruiser.

Why were comments disabled?

I apologize that the comments were disabled for most of the day. Without getting too technical, we were doing some critical work on the website, and it was required that the website remain static as we did the work. Long story short, if people left comments, they would eventually be deleted after we reloaded a new version of the site onto the server.
There have been a lot of technical issue’s we’ve been fighting through over the last few months. I am trying to do everything I can to speed up SCM, and make it as user friendly as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes when you fix things, two things break, and then you have a nightmare on your hands as we did today. Onward and upward.

No comments were deleted. The reason we turned comments off were so that no comments would be deleted.

I was a burglar. Along the Georgia roads I did ride
With meth and pistol by my side
Many cars lost have their windows to my trade
Many a people’s shit stolen at homes I’d invade
The bastards caught me when the PT ran out of gas soon I’ll take it in the ass

This may be hard to believe, but I actually ended up with this guy’s driver’s license; on it there was no Waylon Jennings, just Willie Nelson Scarborough.

His name might be Willie Nelson Waylon Jennings but having your car run out of gas after committing a burglary reminds me of Merle Haggard burglarizing a liquor store attached to a bar that was still open at the time.

Not only are the “Peach Pickers” and many many others ruining the name of this great state I have called home my entire life, but now we have this guy making headlines. I was totally expecting him to be from north Florida. This is SO something that is more likely to happen in Florida. No headline is ever normal from that state.

We just had an incident where a handcuffed murder suspect stole a shotgun from a deputy’s cruiser. And then there was the lovely fellow who threw a live alligator into a Wendy’s drive-through…

What was his mama thinking when she named him that, how could he ever live up to the legend and legacy of two of the greatest game-changers in the history of country music? I just hope she loves him in spite of his Mickey Mouse ways she don’t understand. And since he obviously ain’t cut out to be no Jesse James, he’ll hopefully soon learn there ain’t no good chain gang…
