2 wanted Nashville men arrested after separate incidents in Mt. Juliet
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.

Nashville man on probation for attempted murder facing federal firearm charge
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) -- A Nashville man with prior convictions, including attempted murder, has been charged with possession of a firearm as a felon, officials announced Thursday.
"We will not permit those who have committed violent crimes to carry firearms, especially when they are on release in our community," said acting U.S. Attorney Robert E. McGuire for the Middle District of Tennessee. "Our Operation Bond Watch program works every day with our law enforcement partners to keep violent felons from carrying guns and hold those who do accountable for their actions."
According to court documents, on April 17, detectives from the Metro Nashville Police Department were using Metro Development and Housing Agency cameras to conduct surveillance in the area of South 6th Street and Summer Place. Authorities reportedly noticed some people gathering and identified one of them as 28-year-old Latreavias Burns, who had active state warrants.
Detectives responded to the area and tried to make contact with Burns, but he allegedly ran away. After catching Burns, police searched him and found a "Smith and Wesson, Model: SD9; Caliber: 9mm pistol" loaded with 19 rounds of ammo in his left pant leg, as well as a digital scale with marijuana residue, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Officials said Burns has multiple prior felony convictions in Davidson County, including attempted second-degree murder, assault resulting in death, and accessory after the fact. According to the Tennessee Department of Correction, Burns had absconded from his community corrections program prior to this incident.
If convicted, the DOJ said Burns faces up to 15 years in federal prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
"This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone," officials said in a statement. "On May 26, 2021, the department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results."
No additional details have been released about this case, which is being investigated by MNPD and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Rapper Young Buck's arrest sparks protest in Sumner County
SUMNER COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Protestors gathered Wednesday morning outside the Sumner County Courthouse to speak out against Straight Outta Cashville rapper, "Young Buck," being ordered to serve time.
Earlier this month, a hearing was held to revoke bond for David Darnell Brown, known by his stage name "Young Buck."
A Criminal Court judge reportedly determined that Brown had "repeated violations of his bond supervision" and ordered him to serve 30 days in the Sumner County Jail.
Protestors at the courthouse told News 2 that they are standing against what they call "political and police corruption."
One protestor stated she joined Wednesday morning's gathering to try to get a handle on the corruption and stand up for those who have been affected by the Sumner County court system.
"I hope they start weeding out these corrupt police, judges, DA's — all of it," said Kimberly Cassetty.
In a statement sent to News 2, Sumner County Sheriff Eric Craddock thanked the demonstrators for expressing their views in a "lawful and respectful manner."
As Americans, we are guaranteed the right to free speech and peaceful assembly under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. These rights are foundational to our republic, and it is our duty not only to uphold them, but to protect those who exercise them peacefully. We thank the demonstrators for their cooperation and for expressing their views in a lawful and respectful manner. Our office remains committed to ensuring public safety while safeguarding the constitutional rights of every citizen
Sheriff Eric Craddock
Brown is scheduled for jury trial on July 24 for the following charges: domestic assault, vandalism over $10,000, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and three counts of a violation order of protection.

Woman wanted for attempted murder, man wanted for sex crimes among 'Most Wanted' fugitives in Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two people wanted for violent crimes are the latest additions to the Metro Nashville Police Department’s (MNPD) list of “Most Wanted” fugitives.
One woman added to the list is wanted on grand jury indictments for attempted first-degree murder, and one man is wanted for sex crimes against a minor.
Each week the MNPD Criminal Warrants Division posts the list of all the people they consider the top most wanted fugitives from justice. The list is updated each Wednesday on the department’s Facebook page. According to Metro detectives, those featured on the list are often considered to be some of the “most violent” offenders in the city.
Since the list was first launched in October 2022, 165 people featured on it have been apprehended or surrendered to law enforcement, including several apprehended out of county or even out of state. In 2025 alone, there have been 10 arrests of those featured on the “Most Wanted” list, and 68 arrests took place in 2024.
Below is the list of suspects who made the “Most Wanted” list for the week of April 23, 2025.
1. Dadiri Muhina
According to police, Muhina, 24, is wanted after being indicted by a federal grand jury on multiple felony counts. His charges include first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, solicitation to commit first-degree murder, attempted murder and tampering with evidence.
Court records show the charges stem from a September 2021 shooting that killed 16-year-old Ja’Niya Birdsong and injured another 17-year-old. Family members told News 2 multiple young men were involved in an argument with the two teens before shots rang out.
Birdsong died at the scene in her grandmother’s Paragon Mills driveway. She was a junior at Hillsboro High School and hoped to become a hairstylist, according to family.
While initially the only link to a suspect was a light-colored sedan seen leaving, six people—including Muhina—have since been identified.
As their investigation progressed, detectives said they found text messages between the suspects regarding their plans to destroy the car used in the alleged homicide. Muhina and the other suspects are also accused of conspiring to hire someone to kill a witness.
At least one other suspect in the shooting was taken into custody. However, Muhina has remained at large. Anyone with information on Muhina’s whereabouts is asked to contact the MNPD at 615-862-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
2. Raceme L. Crutcher
Raceme Crutcher, 22, has been on the run from police for more than a year, after he was named one of two suspects in a deadly Fourth of July shooting in 2023.
Officials said the shooting happened at the Fallbrook Apartments on Dellway Villa Road. Etabo Malanda, 16, was reportedly standing on the porch of an apartment when two armed individuals came from around the corner and confronted him.
Malanda allegedly tried to pull out a pistol that was inside his hoodie, but he was shot first. Police said he died shortly after he was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
According to investigators, four guns were recovered from the apartment, including one that was reported stolen. Crutcher and 17-year-old Jaylin Brown were reportedly connected to the crime through witness accounts.
Investigators also obtained surveillance footage and additional information from community members that they said pointed to Crutcher and Brown as suspects in the case. Officials believe the motive may have been an ongoing dispute between the suspects and Malanda.
Brown was taken into custody on Aug. 31, 2023, after police said they caught him driving a stolen car. Crutcher, however, is still on the run. He was added to the “Most Wanted” list more than a year ago, on Nov. 15, 2023. His last location is unknown.
3. De'tynn Smith
De’tynn Smith, 21, is wanted for first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, aggravated robbery and committing a felony with a dangerous weapon.

He has previous criminal history in Metro Nashville, including an indictment on a felony theft charge and felony carjacking charge in 2022. He was also indicted for a misdemeanor, evading arrest in 2022, according to court records.

His last known location was in Madison, according to police.
6. Yudel Ordunez
Yudel Ordunez, 52, has spent nearly eight weeks among Nashville’s “Most Wanted” fugitives. He was first added at the beginning of January.
According to Metro Police, Ordunez is wanted on grand jury indictments for rape without consent and three counts of sexual battery by an authority figure.
Ordunez was last seen in West Nashville, police said.

Memphis man accused of stealing phones, cash from tourists in downtown Nashville
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Memphis man free on bond for three separate arrests involving cellphone thefts is now back behind bars after police said he traveled to downtown Nashville to steal cellphones from visitors.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, 39-year-old Sherman Guy was arrested in downtown Nashville Friday morning for outstanding fraud warrants.
Guy was reportedly out on a $29,500 bond stemming from separate arrests for cellphone thefts in the downtown area last year.
Authorities said the new charges come after an investigation that began in late December, where a man from Maryland reported that his cellphone was stolen while he was visiting a bar in downtown Nashville.
Guy then allegedly used one of the victim's credit card accounts linked to the Apple Pay app to make a $1,700 purchase from a Memphis jewelry store. Police added the scheme also involved wire transfers and the creation of at least one fraudulent bank account.
According to the MNPD, Guy was arrested just before 2 a.m. Friday, April 18 after officers spotted him standing outside of a bar on Broadway.
"The repeated arrests of Sherman Guy serve as a reminder to all to safeguard belongings, especially cellphones, when out in public. Thieves are looking for them," wrote the MNPD in a Friday press release.
Guy is being held in Metro Jail on a $80,000 bond for charges of felony theft, attempted felony theft and identity theft.

'Withdraw those funds immediately': Tennessee Sports Wagering Council fines unlicensed sportsbooks
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Bettors are being advised to immediately withdraw their funds from two sportsbooks that were reportedly found to be operating illegally in Tennessee.
The Tennessee Sports Wagering Council said they issued fines totaling $50,000 each to BetUS and MyBookie on Thursday, April 17.
According to the council, the fines stem from the sportsbooks' failure to comply with cease and desist letters.
📧 Have breaking news come to you: Subscribe to News 2 email alerts →
Additionally, the council encouraged those who have money within the sportsbooks to "withdraw those funds immediately."
"In stark contrast to our legal sportsbooks, illegal operators are choosing to violate our state and federal law. They do not offer any of the same consumer protection mechanisms that the law requires of licensed entities,” Executive Director Mary Beth Thomas said. “They do not restrict minors from accessing their site, they often extend credit to vulnerable individuals, and players have no way of knowing where and with whom their personal and financial data is shared after they log in to an illegal sportsbook. We cannot help players who get into a dispute with an offshore sportsbook, other than to continue our work to shut them down."
In November, illegal sportsbook Bovada shut down operations in Tennessee after the SWC fined them $50,000.
Officials added the Sports Gaming Act authorizes the council to impose a $10,000 fine for the first offense of accepting wagers without a license, which then rises to $15,000 for the second offense, and increases to $25,000 for the third offense.
The SWC reports any additional offenses after that can lead to the imposition of a $25,000 fine for each occurrence, with an occurrence being a single wager accepted in Tennessee.
A list of licensed sportsbooks can be found on the SWC's website. To view the list, follow this link.

'Slow Poke' traffic stop in Mt. Juliet uncovers meth hidden under seat
MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man and woman from Knoxville are facing drug charges after a traffic stop led officers to discover meth hidden in their vehicle.
The Mt. Juliet Police Department said they pulled a vehicle over Wednesday afternoon after officers observed it driving too slow in the far-left lane on I-40 East, which violates the "Slow Poke Law."
The occupants in the vehicle were reportedly headed back to Knoxville after taking a trip to Nashville.
At some point during the stop, an officer discovered over a pound of meth hidden under a seat and on the male passenger.
Police said the man—only identified as a 41-year-old from Knoxville—was arrested for possessing meth with intent to resell. Meanwhile, the 36-year-old woman was reportedly charged with conspiracy to do the same.
No additional details about the arrests were immediately released.

Spring Hill utilizes Adopt-A-Street program to keep community clean
SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WKRN) — The city of Spring Hill is shifting its focus in how it keeps the community clean, encouraging civic participation in keeping litter out of town.
The city's Adopt-A-Street program allows local businesses, faith communities, civic groups and clubs to help keep the city clean and show pride in their community.
Any organization can opt to adopt a street to clean in the city. The only requirements are the stretch of roadway be at least 1 mile long, the group commits to holding four cleanup events per year for two years, and they clean up both sides of the roadway at each cleanup event.
If a group or organization adopts a street, they can choose to extend the agreement for as many years as they would like to commit, according to the city.
"The Adopt-a-Street program is a great way for our local businesses, groups, clubs, and faith communities to come together to show pride in our community," said Spring Hill Communications Director Lucas Wright. "We're encouraged by the outpouring of support around the program in the past few years, and we are always happy to help residents find a way to get involved with and give back to our beautiful City."
Alderman Jason Cox, who just concluded his term this month, has been a champion of the program during his time serving the city. During his final board meeting on April 7, he shared his passion for the program.
When he came to the board, Cox said, the program was mostly idle. The signs were dull-colored and there was no real effort to ensure the organizations were actually cleaning the roads they'd adopted. He sought to change that, he said.
"We've got almost 19 miles of adopted streets through Spring Hill," he said. "As we continue to grow, that is going to be of great importance."
According to the city guidelines, a team of two people can cover 1 mile of a lightly-littered street in about two hours.
Any organization that formally adopts a street will be honored on that road with an Adopt-A-Street sign bearing their organization name. The sign will be posted after the group's first cleanup.
No matter what organization chooses to adopt a street, the group must include a participating adult at least 18 years old. Those under 18 can participate if they are supervised by an adult. City regulations require at least one adult per six youth.
The city also provides a free checklist for organizations in the Adopt-A-Street program to follow to ensure best practices. Further, the city provides safety guidelines, bags, gloves, safety vests, and pickers for organizations in the program after they've filled out and submitted a pre-cleanup data form.

Metro Nashville looking to buy land for new library branch
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Metro Council leaders are looking to replace one branch of the Nashville Public Library.
At its upcoming Tuesday night meeting, the Metro Council will consider whether or not to purchase a half-acre of property in Hadley Park for the purpose of a new public library, according to the latest agenda.
Nashville Public Library (NPL) currently has 22 locations, including one already in Hadley Park. A spokesperson for the library confirmed to News 2 they are planning on building a new branch to replace the current one in Hadley Park.
According to the library, the Hadley Park branch of NPL opened in 1952. At the time it was opened, it was the first new branch of the library system since 1919.
"Like Hadley Park Community Center, the Hadley Park Branch Library was built to serve the African-American community," the library website states.
For many years, the library added, it was the only branch in Nashville-Davidson County that African-Americans were allowed to use during the Jim Crow era.
The Hadley Park branch was fully renovated in 1995, doubling in size from the original 1952 construction.
