50-year-old Anthony Smith almost caused a collision in his Grand Marquis near Murfreesboro Pike and Thompson Place on March 20th. Officers observed Smith drive through a parking lot and in front of traffic as he turned left onto Thompson Lane, so they activated their emergency equipment. Smith then stopped in the middle of the road, dropped his passenger off, and sped off, disregarding officer signals to stop. Officers decided not to pursue, deactivated their sirens, and followed him, keeping him in sight. During this, officers followed Smith several blocks as he drove through the grass and pulled up to his apartment, where they detained him. Smith told officers he decided to flee to avoid getting his car towed. Smith was taken into custody for driving with a revoked license and evading arrest by motor vehicle.
Anthony M Smith of Harold Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on March 20th, charged with evading arrest and driving on revoked license. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $6,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
