0:00.0	Hey, I'm looking for like a local sheriff race and maybe a side of a really bad botched
0:23.1	assassination. Pull up to the second window and we'll see you next time. Welcome to true crime to
0:34.0	go. I'm John here with Jamie. I feel like I had like a speech impediment momentarily.
0:39.3	I think you meant to say assassination. Assassination. But I said, we're going to roll with it.
0:46.7	How about that? Yeah, this is a fascinating story. So I don't want to spend too much time dwelling
0:52.9	on your verbal error. But we got this story coming in 10 minutes or less.
0:57.2	God forbid we edit. Go ahead. Get the ball rolling. Sam Catrin served his community starting in

1:54.9	and served on the board of his local Boy Scout troop in the area. So really when you think of a good
2:00.1	officer, Sam was the guy. He wasn't just sitting in his office, drinking coffee, eating donuts,
2:05.5	buying time and drawing a check. He was actually out there working hard to keep his county clean.
2:10.8	Dude, he even had helicopters that would fly around and we're looking for growing operations
2:16.2	in the mountains. You know how remote this area is and just how much landscape is there to grow
2:22.1	marijuana on. This county is remote, but it is very populated because of a well-known lake. That
2:28.0	would be Lake Cumberland. And dude, am I wrong in saying that it attracts thousands if not millions
