18-year-old Robbie Cook was jailed on April 29th after threatening to kill two men that were left most of the estate that he felt should have been left to him in his great aunt’s will. Jeffrey Pentecost and James Derrick Simpson were given permission to live on the property by the estate owner in her will and probate before she passed away. They looked after Cook, the estate owner’s great-nephew, until he recently turned 18. Cook came over that night and was aggravated that he was not left any of the property in his great aunt’s will. Mr. Simpson played an audio recording from his cell phone where officers could hear Cook repeatedly threatening him and Mr. Pentecost, stating, “You must want to die tonight,” “I’m going to kill you both, you pussy ass motherfuckers”, and “you won’t know what’s going to hit you.” While Cook was making those threats, he was waving a knife and lunging at them. When Mr. Simpson initially called the police, Cook had just left the property, went to his truck, and pulled out a baseball bat. He walked up to the RV that Mr. Simpson and Mr. Pentecost live in and smashed the front windshield. The estimated cost to replace the windshield was $3,000.

Jonathan Risen pulls gun on woman who cut him off in Kroger Parking Lot
23-year-old Jonathan Risen was jailed on April 7th after pointing a gun and threatening to shoot a woman that accidentally cut him off in a Kroger parking lot. Deborah Pendley told police that she didn’t see Risen’s car, then he pulled up next to her facing the opposite direction, pointed a gun at her, and told her “Not to f*/k with him, or he would shoot her.” Risen then fled the parking lot, but Pendley had already written down the license plate number. Her husband was also in the vehicle and provided a statement to the police. The tag came back to a white Ford Focus, and a BOLO was announced on the police radio. Risen was spotted turning onto Montchanin Drive and pulled over. All occupants were detained, and Risen was identified as the driver. He told police there was a gun in the vehicle, and it was found underneath the back side passenger seat. Officers conducted a show-up with Pendley on Old Hickory Boulevard, where she positively identified Risen as the person who pulled the gun on her.
