A Twisted Road to Justice: The Great Clayton Bank Heist
In the sleepy mountain town of Clayton, Georgia, a botched bank robbery in 1934 sets off a wild chase across three states. The bandits have a unique weapon: a half-gallon bucket of roofing tacks. Sheriff Luther Rickman gives pursuit in a "little old Ford," dodging nails and driving on the wrong side of the road. The trail leads to a stolen Packard, a bloody car crash, and a connection to one of North Carolina's most notorious bootlegging ex-officials. This is the twisted, true story of the Clayton Bank Heist, a tale of financial ruin, moonshine, and a trail of clues that leads to only one man.Podcast SourcesBlue Ridge True Crime Sources & LinksExplore More ContentBlue Ridge True Crime SubstackBlue Ridge True Crime YouTube Channel
