We just can't anymore with outgoing state Sen. Jim Summerville.

From the Associated Press:

Lt. Todd Christian with the Dickson Police Department told The Associated Press on Sunday that Summerville was arrested on a stalking charge Friday night. He made bail, and was arrested again on Saturday, this time for assault after threatening a neighbor. He was released on $10,000 bond.
WSMV has more on the incidents

that led to the arrests, Summerville's second run-in with local law enforcement in a month, after he caught a public intoxication charge in September when he was allegedly drinking in several residents' yards. He also

sent a crazy letter

to "Loot Governor" Ron Ramsey and (almost) all of the state Senate last month. The recent episode, Summerville says in a statement reported by WSMV, is part of a "systematic campaign of harassment" by Dickson police.

"The City of Dickson Police Department is engaging a systematic campaign of harassment," Summerville said. "(Stalking! At my age?) Once these charges are resolved in court, I shall be suing the City of Dickson. Settlement negotiations will start at one million dollars."

We're rounding the hilarious corner and speeding into kind-of-sad. But we do wish the senator good luck with his negotiations.
