SUFFOLK, Va. - A load of Georgia peanuts was delivered unexpectedly Thursday to a discriminating fan of the goober.

The 46,000-pound load of peanuts was dumped in J.S. Doughtie's front yard after the trailer they were in slipped off the road and tipped in the soft shoulder, driver Jeff Lanier told police.

Doughtie, 83, said he was working in a shed in his back yard when he realized what had happened. He was told to help himself.

"Oh, I'm going to roast some, make some candy," he said. "I love peanuts, but I do wish these were from Virginia."

Lanier, who was hauling the peanuts from Statesboro, Ga., was charged with reckless driving and failing to maintain control of his vehicle, Suffolk Police said.
