because the family is too well-off
for public defenders, Huckfeldt’s
sons are charged with trying to
hire a hit man to kill their father.

A suspect said to bein his 20s
escaped after robbing a First
Americun Bank branch in
Nashviile, Tennessee, in August,

The telicr had managed to give the

man a-bag of “bait’? money con-~

taining an explodable: device that
would coat the money with a dye
soon after he left the bank. Ap-

. parently, the man wanted. to free

his hands during the getaway and
so stuffed the bag into his sweat-
pants. Said a Nashville detective:
“We believe he may have (drop-
ped the money when he) suffered
severe burns to his groin area.”
