Rutherford: Weapons detection system finds Riverdale student with gun
Charges are pending against a 17-year-old Riverdale High School student who brought a handgun to school Tuesday morning, the school resource officers said.
The handgun was confiscated from the student after he passed through the weapons detection system and the system alerted.
School administrators found the 9mm handgun inside the student’s jacket pocket. Administrators showed SRO Matt King the gun.
King detained the student and read him his rights with SRO Christopher Golden present.
The student was taken to the Rutherford County Juvenile Detention Center where charges are pending.
Rutherford County Schools Director of Schools Dr. Jimmy Sullivan said the situation was resolved without incident and the student did not indicate any threats against anyone at the school.
“We know these situations alarm parents, and that’s one reason we insisted on deploying a weapons detection system at every school this year,” Sullivan said. “We are grateful the system is in place to stop weapons from entering our schools.”
The student will be expelled from school under the zero tolerance policy.

Attempted homicide suspect Dumonta Burns turned himself in at court Tuesday morning after authorities say he shot a man on Feb. 1.
Burns appeared in court on an unrelated case when deputies served warrants charging him with attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and failure to appear. Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office deputies took him into custody.
The 24-year-old is accused of shooting a man on Sulphur Springs Road on Sunday, Feb. 1. Investigators say the shooting stemmed from a past altercation between family members.
Burns is being held on a $300,000 bond at the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center. His next hearing is scheduled for March 9 in Rutherford County General Sessions Court.
Rutherford/Murfreesboro: Middle School Students Charged With Making Threats
Two Rutherford County Schools students accused of making threats Thursday were arrested, Rutherford County Sheriff’s sergeants said.
A Rockvale Middle School student allegedly threatened to bring a gun to school, said Detective Sgt. Thomas Burnett of the Criminal Investigations Division.
Burnett charged the student with communicating a threat concerning a school employee or student. The charge is a felony.
Detectives investigated the allegation that led to the arrest.
School Resource Officer Sgt. Matt Clagg said a student at Whitworth-Buchanan Middle School “threatened to shoot up the math class” after fellow students made fun of him.
SRO Jonathan Hickman obtained statements as part of his investigation.
He charged the student with making threats of mass violence on school property. The charge is a felony.
Both students were taken to the Juvenile Detention Center.
Sheriff Mike Fitzhugh said the Sheriff’s Office continues to show that school safety is a top priority, taking proactive steps to protect students, staff and the community.
Rutherford County Schools Director Jimmy Sullivan said the system appreciates the ongoing partnership with the sheriff’s office and its swift response in these situations.
“We want parents to know that we don’t tolerate this type of inappropriate behavior because our top priority is keeping our students and employees safe,” Sullivan said.

GasBuddy Nashville Gas Prices 2-23
Average gasoline prices in Nashville have risen 5.1 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.61/g today, according to GasBuddy's survey of 596 stations in Nashville. Prices in Nashville are 6.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago and stand 9.0 cents per gallon lower than a year ago. The national average price of diesel has increased 6.2 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $3.686 per gallon.
According to GasBuddy price reports, the cheapest station in Nashville was priced at $2.27/g yesterday while the most expensive was $3.39/g, a difference of $1.12/g. The lowest price in the state yesterday was $2.18/g while the highest was $3.39/g, a difference of $1.21/g.
The national average price of gasoline has risen 1.2 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $2.88/g today. The national average is up 2.8 cents per gallon from a month ago and stands 19.5 cents per gallon lower than a year ago, according to GasBuddy data compiled from more than 11 million weekly price reports covering over 150,000 gas stations across the country.
Historical gasoline prices in Nashville and the national average going back five years:
February 23, 2025: $2.70/g (U.S. Average: $3.08/g)
February 23, 2024: $2.97/g (U.S. Average: $3.27/g)
February 23, 2023: $3.09/g (U.S. Average: $3.35/g)
February 23, 2022: $3.34/g (U.S. Average: $3.55/g)
February 23, 2021: $2.47/g (U.S. Average: $2.65/g)
Neighboring areas and their current gas prices:
Chattanooga- $2.51/g, up 7.8 cents per gallon from last week's $2.43/g.
Tennessee- $2.52/g, up 3.0 cents per gallon from last week's $2.49/g.
Huntsville- $2.61/g, up 5.0 cents per gallon from last week's $2.56/g.
“Average gasoline prices continue to drift higher as crude oil trades near its highest level since last summer, driven by mounting geopolitical risk premiums tied to escalating tensions between the United States and Iran,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “While there has been no direct disruption to energy infrastructure, markets are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a broader exchange that could threaten supply flows. Beyond geopolitics, we’re also seeing localized supply constraints, including refinery outages and disruptions along the Olympic Pipeline, which have amplified price pressures in the Pacific Northwest. These developments are unlikely to be isolated, as planned refinery maintenance is set to intensify in the weeks ahead. As seasonal supply tightens, the national average is increasingly likely to retest the $3-per-gallon threshold.”

Middle Tennessee: Beware of Catheter Kit Scam
Across the country, Medicare beneficiaries are seeing charges for urinary catheter kits they did not need, did not request, and never received.
What makes this especially concerning? The claims may look legitimate because they sometimes list a real or familiar provider’s name. That means reviewing your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) or insurance statements may be the only way to catch it.
If you or someone you know has Medicare:
• Review statements carefully
• Look for unfamiliar supplies or equipment
• Report suspicious charges right away
Please help spread the word to protect our seniors and neighbors. A quick review of statements could prevent ongoing fraud and identity misuse.
If you suspect fraud, you can contact Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE.

Rutherford/Murfreesboro: Rocking The Audition (Class) February 22nd
Ready to stomp-stomp-clap your way into the audition room with confidence?
Rock the Audition is a powerhouse workshop led by Emily Dennis and Royce Phillips, local music directors who sit on the other side of the table and know exactly what makes an audition soar… and what makes it stall. They’ll break down how to choose material that fits your voice and the show, craft smart song cuts that showcase your strengths, and decode what music directors are truly listening for in those first 16 to 32 bars.
Participants are invited to bring in a prepared song and receive individualized feedback and guidance to sharpen their cut, elevate storytelling, and fine-tune musical choices. Think of it as a backstage pass to the audition process with real-time coaching from the pros.
Whether you’re auditioning for your next musical or just ready to level up your book, this workshop will help you walk in bold, prepared, and ready to rock the room.
Held at the Center for the Arts 110 West College Street. 615-904-2787
