January 26, 2025 – A 31-year-old Nashville man, a convicted felon on federal probation for unlawfully transporting firearms, was arrested Saturday night after police say he evaded officers, resisted arrest and was found in possession of a handgun and over 10 varieties of illegal, dangerous drugs.
Around 8:00 p.m., an officer attempted to stop the man for speeding on W. Division St. The suspect briefly stopped on Tate Ln but then fled, speeding toward Lebanon Rd. Officers had prepared spike systems at the exit of Tate Ln, which successfully disabled the vehicle. The man then attempted to flee on foot and resist officers but was quickly apprehended after a Taser was deployed to safely take him into custody.
Following the arrest, officers discovered the man was in possession of a handgun and numerous dangerous drugs, including fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, mushrooms, and various pills. He was arrested and booked into the Wilson County Jail, with many charges, including being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, felony evading, misdemeanor evading, resisting arrest, and multiple counts of possession with intent to sell controlled substances ranging from Schedules I to VI. He was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and driving on a suspended license.
