INSTANT COMEUPPANCE, BIYOTCHES. The killjoy police chief who fined a 65-year-old woman for hanging red Truck Nutz off her pickup truck turns out to be a bit of a “Joe Walsh” himself. He was tossed into the clink for owing $15,000 in back child support payments that he hadn’t paid since 2006. Is it sheer coincidence that he was finally arrested mere days after he decided to hunt down Truck Nutz? TRUCK NUTZ 1 POLICE 0.
Berkeley County sheriff’s deputies took the chief of Bonneau’s police department to family court Wednesday and held him there until he came up with over $15,000 in overdue child support.
Judge Wayne Creech found Chief Franco Fuda in contempt of court and gave him the chance to pay what he owed to an ex-wife in Illinois before sending him to Berkeley County Detention Center, according to court documents.
…
According to court records, Fuda kept up with his $275 per-month child support payments from December 1992, when his wife gained custody of their infant son in their divorce, until January 2004, when his payments became more sporadic. In June 2006, Fuda stopped paying altogether for at least three years, records state.

South Carolina should create its own reality show.
They could call it Southern Nutz.
Shit, son. They'd have to fight Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi for proprietary naming rights.
They used to call San Francisco "Granola" – after you got through the fruits and the nuts, all that was left was the flakes.
I'd call the South "Mixed Nutz."
Well they ain't the salt of the earth anymore, maybe the Cheetos of the parking lot.
Starring Mark Sanford and Basil Marceaux. And the 'does it to you' guy, whatever his name was.
I think ol' Basil should throw his hat in the ring. Marceaux 2012!
Sometimes karmic consequences are beautiful, beautiful things.
Although obviously I give less than a toss about plastic nutz.
This is all Obama's fault.
Let's blame him for the Nutz AND the sheriff's jailing.
Hey! I could be a Republican strategist, if I didn't have a conscience.
"evil will always win because good is dumb." –Lord Helmet
Odin! Odin!
If nuts offend him he's really going to be unhappy in jail, I'm just sayin'.
Or maybe he will just get a greater appreciation of them.
Hopefully he is a supertaster.
TruckNutz before DickWeeds.
Moral of the story?
Don't fuck with Truck Nutz!
Do not taunt happy TruckNutz.
My Trucknutz are an angry, jealous Trucknuts.
sounds like Berkeley County law enforcement is in the pocket of Big Truck Nutz
Or the sack, as it were.
"Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy shit with us, you pull over a lady with Trucknutz out on the highway, I'll take your badge away from you, stick it up your ass and poke you with the pin in your dick."
"Trucknutz?"
"You said it, man. Nobody fucks with the Trucknutz."
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
8 year olds, Dude.
Interesting that he found the money once he saw bars from both sides (now).
Is prison life easy for ex-cops? I'm thinkin' not so much, but at least he'll make new friendships to last a lifetime.
Well, when I lived in Butler Co., Ohio (between Cincinnati and Dayton), the local sheriff got 90 days in jail for pistol-whipping a deputy and threatening to kill him. He spent the nights in the solitary confinement cell, for safety's sake, but was let out days to work,as sheriff!
He might as well kiss the baby.
however brief and grim it may be.
On July 7 of this year, Berkeley County Clerk of Court Mary Brown sent a memo to Bonneau's payroll department ordering that Fuda's wages be withheld to pay his arrears.
Can we send Mary Brown to Congress' payroll department now?
Dear Ms. Brown:
Sic 'em. And thank you in advance.
Kisses,

"I ticketed an older woman for Truck Nutz and didn't pay my child support" will make for superior prison bragging material.
"And they all slid down the Group W bench…"
Very nice.
Either that or one helluva country song: Mah daddy's in prison for child support, and trucknutz. My mawmuh laughed 'til she done pee'd herself. Trucknutz oh Trucknutz you fed me when I was a baby, etc. ad nauseum…
Fuda?
Fucked Up Dumb Ass.
KarmaNutz?
I wonder what they do to anti-Truck Nutz police officers in jail?
Slap Chop
"You're gonna love my nuts!"
It's obvious to me that Chief Franco Fuda has a hard-on for Truck Nutz.
This is proof that G-d himself drives a betesticled F150.
Wait, how did he have a child if he doesn't have any nutz?
They can have my Truck Nutz when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers!
Since when were your nutz stuck in Michele Bachmann's hands?
If Mr. Fuda had paid more attention to his own nuts and less to that lady's, none of this would've happened.
Wookies, you ain't ever lied man, you ain't ever lied.
Wayne Creech and Franco Fuda. You can't make these names up
If they make TrukNutz a crime, only criminals will have TrukNutz. Yeah, seems about right.
Today, we are all TruckNutz
You know, having a pair of low-hanging balls is not necessarily an advantage in jail.
It's a well-known fact that teh Trucknutz are on the tank for Obama.
I don't know about you all, but I'm proud to be an American again.
For the first time in my life I'm proud of my country.
Funny how all these authoritarians tend to have proverbial (and sometimes literal) skeletons in their closets.
Dear Karma,
Thank you.
Love,

If he didn't cough up the outstanding child support, the ex-wife in Illinois should have hung Fuda's nuts on her truck.
Instant Karma's Gonna Find You..
He should be arresting those commies with "COEXIST" bumper stickers, not good ole' American trucknutz!
And yet Joe Walsh walks free.
The Eagles got considerably better when he joined them, though.
This is true.
The news just broke, today, right? There is still time. I don't expect a resignation, but it seems a possibility if this story is hit hard enough. I'd imagine there has to be more to come out of this…
Oh that's cute! Like justice or something will happen? That's adorable. Really. ; )
I'm so sick of hearing about Trucknutz!! I can't get any market penetration for my TruckSnatch® Gas Tank Opening Cozies!
Bubbas don't understand the intricate nature of those things; foreplay before you fuel up? Bubbas are more anxious to get in the convenience store, buy that carton of smokes and twelve pack of Bud Light and light up than fool around with the gas cap for a few minutes before fuelin' up. Kind of like trying to get done with stuff before Leno comes on 'cause they don't want to miss the monologue or Jaywalking.
I keep trying to tell you people: the next fortune to be made is in Timothy McVeigh commemorative tee shirts and truck nutz for scooters.
No shit. You'd think something like that would be more popular than Dunkin Donuts and Zestra combined.
This is what Dr King was referring to when he said, "The arc of the universe is wide, but it bends toward justice."
Dr. King was a secret Buddhist!
Here’s the sermon that came from. It brings tears to my eyes every time I read it.http://www.salsa.net/peace/conv/8weekconv4-2.html
And what was jail like for you, Chief Fuda?
Just got teabagged all damn day by some guy that looked like a truck.
Jail is like middle school, only with rape.
Semi-OT, but if you didn't think it was possible to write a sentence containing the words "cute" or "adorable", and "TruckNutz", you'd be wrong.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww.
Damn you.
Awwwwwwwwwww.
In Ore-EH-gone, no less!!
What an adorable picture.
He spent all the money on Fleshlights.
Ex-wife in Illinois? You don't think he and Walshy are sharing…. ? Naw.
Franco Fuda? As in Hotto Doga?
$275 a month? What a fucking moron; but you already knew that, didn't you?
How many Trucknutz can you buy for $275?
$275 a month?
The kid's on a strict hobo bean diet and goes barefoot, even in winter.
Fuda sounds like a fancy kind of weed.
Oh Bawlz! Respectfully, Wonkette and Chuck H. have the story wrong–or at least the timeline. Chief Franco "Nutzy" Fuda was arrested in July of 2010, NOT after the ballsy bust. Check the Post and Courier link above. July 23, 2010. Nuts!
That changes the whole "karma" leitmotif, doesn't it? Perhaps in arresting this poor woman he was somehow subconsciously trying to wreak vengeance on his own balls for their uncontrollable behavior. In any case, there's still a karmic debt to be paid, and he's about to go into default.
@bureaucrap Brilliant analysis, my friend. Brilliant.
Of course if you go against major state symbols you might get jailed too. Trucknutz is on the flag man.
Check out this goober.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg!
Damn you!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrg!
McMillin said that is not good enough and that she will never shop at Walmart again.
I saw that picture. Talk about your idle threats.
It's Spider Jerusalem with a sex change.
hawt. I mean eeeeew.
Also, she totally resembles your avatar. Coincidence?
That which has been seen….cannot be unseen.
If I hadn't been blinded by that photo, I might harbour thoughts of tracking you down and exacting revenge. So, well played.
She should make the People of Walmart honor wall. She's actually a step-up in some cases.
Now I haz sad, I was looking forward to the visit.
