One of the most captivating tales of a Kentucky rogue is "Bluegrass Conspiracy" -- a book by Sally Denton that captured the stranger-than-strange story of Andrew Thornton.

Essentially, Andrew was a narco cop gone bad. In 1985, according to Kentucky.com...

"...an old man who lived in a tree-filled neighborhood in Knoxville woke up to find a dead man in his driveway.
It was the body of Andrew Carter Thornton II, a former Lexington narcotics officer who turned to dealing drugs.
On Thornton were about 75 pounds of cocaine, $4,800 in cash, two automatic weapons, several knives, rope, night-vision goggles, six Krugerrands and keys to a plane.
He wore combat-style fatigues, a bulletproof vest and expensive Italian shoes.
Thornton, 40, died when his parachute failed. His neck broke but the cause of death was listed as a ruptured aorta.
The plane in which Thornton was flying was discovered a few hours later crashed in a rugged mountainous area of North Carolina. It was unoccupied. No flight plan had been filed for it."

And, in our own snarky way, The Uncommonwealth pays homage to Andrew by giving him his own "parachute school." This design is complete with all of Andrew's tools of the trade -- semi-automatic weapons, cash, knives, rope, Krugerrands, goggles, cash, a boatload load of cocaine.

This t-shirt is everything you've dreamed of and more. It feels soft and lightweight, with the right amount of stretch. It's comfortable and flattering for both men and women.
