August 11, 2025 – A Mt. Juliet Police license plate reader alerted officers Saturday to a Ford Escape displaying a tag stolen from Williamson County the previous day. The alert came as the SUV exited the interstate onto Belinda Parkway.

Police say the 54-year-old Nashville man was found with crack cocaine, driving on a revoked license, and wanted in three counties for multiple felony warrants.
