Tickle has had a long and complicated history with the law.
When he wasn't working as a distiller or as a carpenter in his free time, Tickle has had some serious political ambitions in the past. In 2012, per The Washington Examiner, Tickle was teasing a presidential bid. The year following, he also seriously considered running for congress in Virginia.

In 2013, Tickle was arrested for public intoxication, according to RTT News.
