Around 7:15 a.m., Lebanon Police, along with the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office, responded to Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital after a male patient, believed to be experiencing a mental health crisis, pulled a fire alarm and then left the hospital.
Officers and deputies saturated the area with the goal of locating the individual and safely returning him to the hospital.
Shortly thereafter, the male made his way to the Kroger parking lot and reportedly attempted to carjack a delivery driver.
The individual then attempted a second carjacking across the road, targeting a vehicle waiting to exit the Ulta parking lot at the traffic light.
Deputies spotted the second attempted carjacking in progress, quickly intervened, and took the male into custody. He was then transported back to Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital.
