A company I worked for back in early '70s had a branch plant down there in the same area where Buford Pusser was sheriff. Our truck driver made regular overnight runs back and forth between plants two or three times a week. He told us from getting to know and be pretty good friends with some of the branch plant employees and some locals too who had been born and raised around there that not many cared much for him before he ever became Sheriff and even less after he did.
