Hand sanitizer, masks and anti-bacterial wipes purchased by two Tennessee brothers were handed out to law enforcement agencies and first responders on Friday.
Matt and Noah Colvin, of Hixson, Tennessee, were allegedly hoping to profit on demand for hand sanitizer caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. After the first death from the virus in the United States, the brothers are accused of buying all of the products in stock at stores in Tennessee and in Kentucky counties along the I-75 corridor.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron worked with Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery to halt the alleged price gouging of the items.
Cameron said the brothers would buy whatever personal protective equipment they could find along the I-75 corridor.
From eastern to central Kentucky, products were given to law enforcement all the way to Spencer County.
Cameron said they have received hundreds of calls in the last day alone in regard to price gouging.
