Alert citizen, quick police response stops thief in his tracks

Posted in: Arrests, Crime Prevention, Media Release.

Maximiliano Reyes
Age: 27
Antioch, Tennessee

Officers responded to a reported burglary in progress shortly after 9:00 pm, Monday night, at Discount Tire on Southwinds Drive. A worker at a nearby business reported the in-progress crime. An officer on patrol was just around the corner when the call came in and interrupted the felony as it was occurring.

The officer saw 27-year-old Maximiliano Reyes, of Antioch, loading tires into his van behind the building. Despite 80-degree temperatures, Reyes was wearing layered clothing and gloves at the time of his arrest. Fourteen stolen tires were found in his van.

Charged with Felony Theft, Reyes was released today on the $15,000 bond set by the Magistrate. He is due in court 05/31/2018.

Fighting crime is a partnership between the police and the community. Without last night’s call from an alert citizen, Reyes’ crime may have gone unsolved. The Franklin Police Department is grateful for the good citizen, for their willingness to get involved, and we encourage others to join with us in making a safer Franklin.

Demarcus Helm
Age: 28
Franklin, TN

A convicted felon remains jailed after seriously injuring his one-and-a-half-month-old baby boy. Officers responded to 101 Johnson Circle on March 26. A relative in the home called 9-1-1 when they noticed the baby not breathing. First responders performed CPR and were able to save the baby. His condition improved during a hospital stay.

Investigators determined that the baby’s father, 28-year-old Demarcus Helm, was responsible for the extensive injuries. Facts uncovered during a multi-layer investigation were presented to a Grand Jury. Helm and the baby’s mother, 21-year-old Tytianna Jones, were ultimately arrested on May 18.

Tytianna Jones

Helm, charged with x2 counts of Aggravated Child Abuse is being held on a $50,000 bond. He is due in court on May 31 at 9:00 am. Jones, who lied to investigators during her initial statements about the baby’s injuries, was charged with Child Endangerment and Accessory After the Fact. She is being held on a $25,000 bond. A court date has not yet been set for Jones. Since being released from the hospital, the baby has remained in the care and custody of the Department of Children Services.

Home surveillance video shows m.o. used by crooks targeting Franklin neighborhoods

Video from a home surveillance system shows overnight auto burglars jump out of the suspect vehicle and into action in the Falcon Creek subdivision, early Sunday morning.

The video shows this newer model, light-colored Honda CRV stop in the neighborhood before three suspects jump out and immediately start checking door handles. The suspects stole purses, wallets, and small electronics from any vehicle that they found unlocked. Most troubling: They got away with a Glock 9mm handgun that the owner left in an unlocked car.

Franklin Police urge gun owners not to leave their weapon in an unlocked vehicle. Removing all valuables & keys, and locking your car doors greatly reduce your chances of becoming a victim of this type of crime.

A cash reward is being offered for any information that leads to an arrest in this case.
