MARYVILLE, Tenn. - Blount County's newest police cruiser has been turning heads, but whether it could keep up in a high-speed chase seems unlikely.

Assistant Chief Deputy Archie Garner retrofitted a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle to add to the sheriff's fleet of police interceptors, but with a top-end speed of about 70 mph, he's not writing a lot of speeding tickets.

What a neat idea. The unmarked police cars here are Mustangs. Very easy to spot by the license plates. LOL
