I am an independent author and researcher who decided to do some fact
checking on my own, and have several contacts in Tennessee state law
enforcement. Contrary to the public statements issued by Dave Berry,
spokesperson for Swift Corporation of Phoenix, Arizona, sources close

which can be punished with fines of several thousand dollars. I have
