A shoplifter who used a stolen car to wreck four police cars and tried running over a Franklin Police Officer last week is in custody. The arrest took place this morning at the 16-year-old’s Nashville high school.

On Thursday night, 08/10/2017, Franklin PD Flex Officers located an unoccupied stolen car in the parking lot of the Academy Sports on Mallory Lane. The stolen car was believed to have been driven there by two earlier shoplifting suspects. As officers approached the suspects who were re-entering that stolen car, the driver crashed into four police cars and nearly ran over a Franklin Police Officer during her dangerous getaway. Officers were later stunned to learn she is only sixteen.

Charged with Felony Theft, Reckless Aggravated Assault, three counts of Aggravated Assault, and Shoplifting, the suspect is in the process of being booked into the Williamson County Juvenile Detention Center. A court date has not yet been set. Additional charges are expected in this case

Update on Saturday bomb threat

Posted by Lieutenant Charles Warner on May 31, 2017
Posted in: Media Release, Update.

After conferring with the TN Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, Franklin Police Detectives have determined that Saturday’s threat at Jamison Station was one of many received across the country via a wireless printer. We continue to work with local, state, and federal law enforcement authorities involved in related investigations. We believe this was a hoax and that individuals involved were not local.
