MJPD officers apprehended multiple wanted individuals in recent days through proactive enforcement efforts.

March 19:

– On Pleasant Grove Road, an officer stopped a vehicle with no license plate. A 28-year-old man from Hohenwald was found to have multiple failure-to-appear warrants out of Lewis County for non-payment of child support and was taken into custody.
– On I-40 East, a truck was pulled over for speeding, unlawful window tint, and expired tags. The driver, a 49-year-old man from Nashville, had an active nationwide warrant from the TN Department of Corrections for a parole violation. He was on parole for multiple drug sales convictions and had previously been charged by MJPD in June 2024 for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Instead of turning himself in after being notified of his arrest warrant, he absconded and had been in hiding.

– On Golden Bear Gateway, a delivery box truck ran a red light, leading to a traffic stop. The passenger, a 32-year-old man from Smyrna, was found to have a felony theft warrant out of Nashville. He had been wanted since September 2019.
