An attentive citizen picked up the phone and reported what they saw, and made a difference this week. At noon on Wednesday, Franklin Police received a call from someone who witnessed a woman in Cool Springs placing black electrical tape on her license plate, making the numbers and letters appear different than they actually were.

Teresa King
Date of Birth: 02/28/1989
2110 Hermosa Street
Nashville, TN 37208

Officers located the car in the Target parking lot and arrested 25-year-old Teresa King of Nashville. King, charged with Altering/Forgery of Plates and Driving on a Revoked License is free on a $4,000 bond.

It is not uncommon, in general, for suspects who have committed or are about to commit a crime to disguise or remove their license plate. Altering a license plate is a Class E Felony. Franklin Police commend the witness who reported this crime, and encourage residents who witness criminal or suspicious activity to contact police.
