Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette: Bruce Tuck, the confessed serial rapist identifiable by his oversized waistline, now says he was coerced into confessing by authorities who had him on a lettuce-only diet while in jail last year. The 275-pound Tuck, who still faces charges in Shelby County, said in a petition challenging his guilty pleas and 60-year sentence that detectives in Martin, Tenn., made him an offer he could not refuse. "Detective Marty Plunk offered the defendant a bag of chips and a cold drink in exchange for talking to him about the cases," Tuck wrote in his recently filed petition.
