Lawrenceburg is known nationally for its famous bourbon distilleries, but it is also now known as the place where a man was forced to eat his own beard.

It would be hard to imagine any small town being busier than Lawrenceburg for a sports fan this weekend. With the Anderson County High School football team making a strong showing in the state playoffs and basketball making its final preparations for tipoff, sports fans can get their fill of the action.

A spike in violent crime.
A rise in domestic violence.
A dramatic increase in child abuse.
