Released February 1, 2019 — Officers were called to the Murfreesboro Road Bank of America, just before 8:00 Thursday night, after a man was robbed at gunpoint. The victim was at the walk-up ATM when a suspect wearing a bandanna over his face approached him with a gun. The robber demanded money and then fled in a light-colored 4-door sedan. That getaway vehicle was driven by a large black male.
Detectives from Franklin are working with Brentwood Police who believe that this same suspect committed a similar robbery at the Moore’s Lane Bank of America ATM fifteen minutes prior. No one was injured during either robbery.
Police advise citizens to use caution and be vigilant about their surroundings when using ATMs, especially at night.

Today marks the 28-year anniversary of the murder of Peggy Cox. This year a new team of Franklin Police Detectives will meticulously re-examine that night in a continued effort to find the suspect who killed this Franklin mom on her 49th birthday. A $25,000 reward remains available for anyone who helps police catch Peggy’s killer.
At 11:45 p.m. on February 1, 1991, Peggy Cox was working in the Murfreesboro Road Hardee’s drive-thru. After placing his order over the intercom, the killer drove up to the window and shot Cox with a small caliber handgun. She was discovered lying on the floor by a co-worker — her 20-year-old son, Jude. Peggy Cox was rushed to the hospital, where she died of a single gunshot wound. Detectives who conducted an extensive investigation were unable to identify a suspect or motive. Over time, the case went cold.
“Peggy Cox and her family deserve justice,” said Chief Deborah Faulkner. “We will never stop hunting for her killer or the answers that Peggy’s family and our community deserve.”

Franklin Police are looking for three suspects wanted in a Cool Springs credit card fraud. Recently-obtained video shows the suspects visiting the Galleria Boulevard Target in late December, where they used a stolen credit card to ‘purchase’ more than $1,500 in Visa gift cards. The suspects left in a red Cadillac.
At 2:45 this morning, and for reasons unknown, a suspect driving down I-65 in Franklin fired a gun at another vehicle carrying six Illinois residents. Three adults and three children (11 months, 12-years-old, and 17-years-old) were on their way to Alabama. They were traveling on I-65 S near Cool Springs Boulevard when the shooting occurred. The suspect vehicle is a light-colored Dodge Charger or Challenger, with blue stripes across the hood and trunk areas of the car, in similar style to the graphics on these sample cars.
The suspect shot into the rear passenger window of the victim’s vehicle. The bullet passed through the car and struck the driver’s side rear window. Amazingly, no one inside was hit. The 11-month-old baby was treated after being cut by flying glass. The injuries were, thankfully, not serious.
