On July 11, 2025, at approximately 3:00 AM, Ofc. Akram Gad was patrolling Waldron Road when he observed three Dodge Chargers illegally drag racing through our city. Ofc. Gad positioned behind the vehicles to record their license plates and then activated his emergency lights. When he did, two of the Chargers accelerated at speeds exceeding 75 mph in an attempt to flee.
Four other La Vergne police officers quickly responded to assist. The pursuit continued until both vehicles turned onto Glochester Court, which happens to be a dead end. One vehicle was stopped immediately, while the other driver attempted to evade officers but was quickly boxed in and taken into custody.
A search of the vehicle resulted in the recovery of a firearm, which has been secured in evidence along with the vehicles involved. Both drivers were safely transported and booked into the Rutherford County Jail. They are currently charged with drag racing and felony evading; additional charges related to the recovered firearm are pending.
