Be warned! Spoilers ahead for the June 22 episode of Duck Dynasty: The Revival.
Although being faced with two months in prison and a $500 fine is a pretty serious endeavor, it was the result of Willie Robertson being Willie Robertson.
In the episode, we see Willie Robertson's efforts to help Jacob Mayo's clothing business. Mayo has managed to elevate the business from a $15,000 operation to a mighty six-figure machine. He wanted to enlist Willie's help, but didn't anticipate how rogue he'd go in the process.
Although Mayo's business deals with vintage clothing, Willie decided to go AWOL and buy everything but clothes. Odd trinkets, strange items, and anything else that can't be comfortably adorned on the human body.
"It's all the stuff you loved when you were younger, but only now with a funky smell," Willie joked about the merchandise he was accumulating for the store.
His own truck wasn't enough, so he called in Jeffrey Kent, current COO of Duck Commander, to bring a truck and trailer. It was madness. But soon, they felt they had too many goods and decided to set up a pop-up to shove off their merchandise.
And That's When The Police Got Involved...
Willie Robertson established a pop-up to sell some goods. However, no one turned up.
It turns out trying to sell items on a Monday when all the other stores are closed isn't a viable business strategy.
Jacob Mayo wasn't too happy with how Willie Robertson handled things. Thankfully for him, the police intervened to shut the store down anyway.
An officer approached Willie Robertson and asked for a peddler's license. Willie needed a street vendor license to legally sell goods in Louisiana, something he didn't have.
Outrageously, Willie offered the cop some goods in exchange for allowing the pop-up to continue. The officer naturally wasn't all too happy about that. "Are you trying to bribe me?" he asked.
If they didn't pack up by noon, Willie would face a $500 fine and 60 days in jail.
So, naturally, he packed up his failed store.
