MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WKRN) -- Mt. Juliet authorities took two wanted Nashvillians into custody Wednesday morning following separate incidents involving traffic violations.
According to the Mt. Juliet Police Department, an officer addressing a handicapped parking violation at the Mapco near Interstate 40 on Wednesday, April 30 came across a 32-year-old Nashville man who was wanted in Wilson County.
Officials said the man had multiple outstanding warrants, including a probation violation tied to domestic assault, resisting arrest, and violating conditional release. In addition, he reportedly had warrants for failing to appear in court for driving on a revoked license.
"Thanks to the vigilance of our officers, one more wanted individual is off the streets," police posted on social media. "At MJPD, we stay focused on crime—so our community can stay focused on living well, feeling safe, and thriving."
In an unrelated incident from Wednesday morning, MJPD said an officer stopped a driver on Lebanon Road near Devonshire Drive for handheld cellphone use but later learned the 58-year-old Nashville man was wanted in Sumner and Wilson counties.
According to authorities, the man was wanted in Sumner County for a probation violation tied to charges of driving under the influence, driving on a revoked license, and a sex offender registry violation. Meanwhile, he was wanted in Wilson County for a probation violation connected to a previous charge of driving on a revoked license (second offense).
Law enforcement said the man -- who was driving on a revoked license again Wednesday -- was arrested and booked into the Wilson County Jail.
"We’re thankful for our officers’ dedication and vigilance—helping ensure Mt. Juliet stays a safe place to live, work, and visit," MJPD wrote on Facebook.
No additional details have been released about either incident from Wednesday morning, including the identities of the two men who were apprehended.
