Some of Richie Farmer’s guns and knives will be auctioned off today and an estimated 600 bidders are lined up to take a look at the goods. The items are included in the Fish and Wildlife’s bi-annual surplus auction. The former Kentucky Wildcat is serving a 27-month prison term in West Virginia for using state resources for his personal benefit.
13 rifles and 16 knives bought as gifts for 2008 Dept of Ag convention but leftover and taken home by Richie Farmer. About to be auctioned.
