Putnam/Cookeville:Run For The Wall May 18

 Cookeville is proud to once again welcome the incredible riders of Run for the Wall as they make their way across the country on a powerful mission. Each year, this cross-country motorcycle ride brings together veterans, families, and supporters who are “riding for those who can’t”, honoring those who were killed in action, supporting our military, and advocating for POW/MIA awareness.

This year marks the 12th annual visit of the Midway Route to our community and we’re especially honored that Cookeville is their only two-night stay along the journey.

 Help us line the streets of Jefferson Avenue as the riders make their way through Cookeville to the Putnam County Convention Center for a private event. Your support means the world to these riders and the mission they carry.

Riders are “riding for those who can’t.” Many are veterans riding in honor of those MIA or KIA, or are riding as therapy for PTSD. Many are Vietnam veterans who never received a proper "Welcome Home." The Cookeville-Putnam County Visitors' Bureau invites you to line the streets with smiling faces and waving American flags to provide them with the "Welcome" they deserve.

Rutherford/Murfreesboro: Burglars crash vehicle in Murfreesboro gun range

 

Murfreesboro Police Department Criminal Investigations Division detectives are searching for a group of burglars who crashed a vehicle into a gun range early Saturday and stole multiple firearms.

 

The smash-and-grab burglary occurred at Black Frog Arms & Range, located on North Thompson Lane about 3:40 a.m. May 2.

 

Responding officers found a Kia Soul crossover utility vehicle still inside the business. Officers also discovered what appeared to be an RPG round in the parking lot, which investigators believe the suspects dropped while leaving the scene. As a precaution, the Tennessee Highway Patrol bomb squad responded and determined the item was inert or a replica.

 

According to the preliminary investigations, a group of individuals wearing white Tyvek coverall suits exited the vehicle after crashing into the building, grabbed multiple firearms and ran out of the business. Detectives believe the suspects fled the area in a dark-colored Kia Optima.

 

Crime data analysts with the Murfreesboro Police Department’s Real Time Crime Center are assisting detectives with the investigation by utilizing license plate readers and public safety cameras.
