21-year-old Kristian Wilkins could not escape when police responded to a street racer gathering on Trousdale Dr on July 8th around 10 p.m. Officer Wright made contact with Kristian, wearing Night Riderz branded clothing, a prominent local street racing crew. The MNPD has a Street Racing Initiative that investigates street racing events being riotous in nature due to the danger they pose to properties and persons. The police reported that the events often included fireworks, gunfire, and a pedestrian being struck by a car that was sliding. Also, they often obstruct, prevent, and avoid law enforcement efforts to stop their activities.
Kristian Wilkins of Lafayette St in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on September 9th, charged with riot and aggravated criminal trespass. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave his pre-trial release from their facility.
