    What's Going on in Tennessee? WhistlinDiesel's Gag Order and Secret Tax Probe

    1 day ago

    With a spotless record and his mugshot now viral, he reveals two explosive developments: a state push for a gag order to silence his 20 million followers across social media, and a years-long investigative report alleging $27,000 in sales tax evasion on a single Ferrari F8 that famously burned to a crisp. Detwiler blasts the proposed gag order, set for a hearing on December 8th at Williamson County Circuit Criminal Court, as a direct assault on his First Amendment rights. Prosecutors cite his massive influence and viral posts including a 6-million-view video as threats to a fair trial, even targeting his merch featuring the public indictment page. He insists his transparency is key, urging fans to stay respectful while questioning why the state skipped simple notifications in favor of secrecy. The core allegation? Failing to pay Tennessee sales tax on vehicles registered in Montana, sparked by an anonymous tip years ago. Investigators quietly interviewed his accountant who suggested reregistering assets but was told to stay silent along with dealerships and shops, building a case without ever alerting him or sending a bill. Detwiler argues this wasn't about collecting $27k but making an example, especially wild given potential penalties of 1-6 years in prison for someone who claims he aimed to stay compliant. Frustrated but grateful for fan support via merch sales covering legal fees, Detwiler portrays himself as an everyday guy chasing experiences over cash, not a tax dodger. He challenges the Department of Revenue to educate rather than ambush, offering collaboration while vowing updates unless silenced. As court looms today, his message is clear: the public deserves the full story behind the headlines.
