Trucker: Show Me the Money

An unfolding case in Virginia involves a semi truck from City Brewery in La Crosse. The truck left City last Monday loaded with beer. A relatively simple overnight trip to Virginia. Never made it. The city's trucking company tells police the driver of the truck refuses to deliver his 43 thousand pounds of fermented cargo. Until he gets three thousand dollars. Kind of like a ransom payment apparently. They say the beer's worth around a hundred thousand dollars. The transportation company says they've had problems with this driver before.
