March 31, 2025 – A 18-year-old Nashville man is in custody following a dangerous and intentional attempt to intimidate and harm Mt. Juliet Police officers. Earlier Sunday afternoon, the suspect deliberately drove his vehicle toward an MJPD officer who was conducting an unrelated traffic stop.
What followed were two separate vehicle pursuits, during which the suspect continued to drive recklessly through the community—intentionally targeting officers and police vehicles in an apparent effort to cause harm. Alarmingly, this is not the first such incident involving this vehicle. On Monday, March 17th, the same vehicle was involved in a similar, purposeful confrontation with MJPD officers. However, no one was apprehended after 3 separate pursuits.
With the critical support of the Metro Nashville Police Department’s Aviation Unit, the suspect was safely tracked from the air, allowing MJPD officers to disengage from active pursuit. The suspect’s vehicle was ultimately disabled by an MNPD spike strip on Clarksville Highway near Old Hickory Blvd, and he was taken into custody without further incident.
The suspect has been identified as Sujoy P. Guha-Perry, 18, of Nashville. At the time of his arrest, he was wearing a GPS ankle monitor while out on bond for involvement in a July 2024 shooting incident at a Nashville apartment complex pool party, during which a 16-year-old girl was shot.
Guha-Perry was booked into the Wilson County Jail and charged with Criminal Attempted Homicide, two counts of Aggravated Assault on a First Responder, Felony Evading, Reckless Endangerment, and Reckless Driving.
