    Question Sugar in a Gas Tank

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Tennessee

    Hi, How hard is it to convict someone for putting sugar in a gas tank?


    Thanks, Robert

    Roughly between a 0% and 100% conviction rate, depending upon the evidence and circumstances.

    How about you give us some more details?

    The owner found a quart of sugar in his tractor gas tank. Police was called but no fingerprints was taken. Police also never has told anybody not talk about this to anybody else.

    Thanks, Robert

    Without a suspect, there will be no arrest - and thus no conviction.

    Please explain the third sentence though.

    "Police also never has told told anybody not talk about this to anybody else". <--- what exactly does that mean?

    They have a strong suspect the person in the other thread with the gun. I should have put this in one thread instead of two.

    That makes this a rhetorical question then:

    And the way they determined it was a "quart"???

    A quart is a unit of liquid measure.
