| A Pennsylvania man who wrecked his SUV on I-79 in Roane County while carrying live chickens, improvised explosives and guns pleaded not guilty to a weapons charge Tuesday.
21-year-old Seth Grim of Emmaus, Pennsylvania, was driving south when he lost control of his vehicle and wrecked.
State police found 30 chickens, improvised explosives, a dog, marijuana, ammunition, and AK-47-style rifles at the scene.
The dog and some of the chickens did not survive the crash.
Grim was charged in Roane County with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. He later was charged in federal court with unlawful transport of firearms.
His trial on the weapons charge is set for Dec. 2 in front of Judge John T. Copenhaver. |
