NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man convicted of several felonies is back behind bars following an attempted traffic stop that led to a drug and gun bust in Davidson County.
According to court documents, officers arrested Deangelo Miller, 30, after a brief pursuit Tuesday.
Detectives had reportedly been investigating Miller's involvement in a shooting that happened in March 2024. The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) said detectives attempted to pull Miller over after they observed him get behind the wheel of a vehicle despite having a suspended driver's license.
Instead of pulling over for authorities, Miller allegedly continued to drive away before getting out of his vehicle and running from authorities. As he was running, police said he threw a black bag on the ground. He was eventually placed under arrest and his belongings were searched.
Inside the bag, detectives reportedly found separately wrapped baggies with drugs including 49.4 grams of cocaine, 34.2 grams of fentanyl, 30.1 grams of meth and 16.8 grams of Xanax.
During a search of Miller's vehicle, a Glock semi-automatic pistol was between the driver's seat and center console, according to police.
Officials said Miller has been convicted multiple times of violent felony offenses in Davidson and Williamson counties for aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.
According to Davidson County Jail records, Miller was charged with four counts of felony drug possession, felony evading arrest in a motor vehicle, two felony counts of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, misdemeanor drug paraphernalia possession, misdemeanor evading arrest and misdemeanor driving on a suspended license.
He is being held at Metro Jail on a $137,500 bond.
