    A county sheriff in Georgia is in hot water after using nearly $70,000 in asset forfeiture funds to purchase a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. Gwinnett county sheriff Butch Conway took delivery of the 707-horsepower sedan and uses the car for transportation to and from work, as well as for field operations and as an undercover police vehicle. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported last Thursday that the Department of Justice called the purchase of the Charger Hellcat "extravagant" and said "the vehicle in question is a high-performance vehicle not typically purchased as part of a traditional...

    Hellcats are stalking the hallways at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles nowadays, apparently.

Automotive News (subscription required) reports the team over in Auburn Hills, Michigan, plan to shove the Hellcat powertrain into the Chrysler 300 next year as a 2018 model before the car gets refreshed for 2019.
