A Jeep Renegade flying down I-40W at 93 mph in a 70 zone caught the attention of one of our officers tonight. After the vehicle was safely stopped, it became clear this wasn’t just a simple case of speeding. The driver—a 34-year-old man from Nashville—had just dropped off a DoorDash delivery and was still in a rush, driving recklessly and endangering others on the road.
As the stop unfolded, our officer discovered the driver had an outstanding warrant from Metro Nashville for Violation of Probation, tied to a felony aggravated assault conviction. He was also behind the wheel on a revoked license.
But that wasn’t all. During a search of the vehicle, officers found five chalky blue pills—suspected to be pressed fentanyl—hidden in a cigarette pack.
The driver was arrested and now faces charges for reckless driving, driving on a revoked license, possession of fentanyl, and the outstanding warrant.
We are grateful for the vigilance and hard work of our officers, who are always watching out for the safety of MJ.
