Fiancé Steals Tanya Tucker’s Clothes 2007-08-08 12:03:30 I guess this means no marriage (or so I hope). I wrote about how one fiance is grieving over a death and the moving way he proposed to her. This story is in stark contrast. Las Vegas police arrested the former fiance of country singer TanyaTucker
recently. They were driving across the country and he drove off with her clothes and jewelry.
His name is Jerry Laseter and they were on their way to perform in Las Vegas. He drove the U-Haul full of $500,000 worth of her wardrobe and jewelry. This is the funny part: Tucker said she’d give him money and two tickets back to Nashville for returning her things. He emptied the truck and abandoned it at a Las Vegas casino. One thing was left: a note. It said: “When you are trying to get someone over a barrel, make sure you got a strong barrel.” It was punctuated with an expletive.
