There’s A New Corvette In Town

The Wake County Sheriff’s Office has a new sports car to add to their fleet, thanks to criminals.

Sheriff Donnie Harrison says the department received the new black Corvette just a few days ago after it was confiscated from a drug dealer and will be used to help catch criminals.

Harrison adds that adding the car to the department’s current fleet makes more sense than selling it.

“With the budget like it is…I think this is very important. It gives us some tools that we wouldn’t normally have. Some folks say why not sell it back or auction it off and give the money to the schools? But when you auction off equipment you only get a portion of what its worth. Thru drug enforcement and speeding, it’ll pay for itself three fold,” said Harrison.

The Sheriff’s Office may be on the right track; within hours of hitting the street, the corvette took part in a drug bust.
