Officials in Clarksville said they’re searching for three people believed to possibly be in Nashville.

On Friday, authorities with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said they have developed information stating 31-year-old Thomas Christopher Nelson may be in Davidson County with 32-year-old Tabitha Love Kestner and 34-year-old Randell Lee Bowman. They said they believe he’s in Davidson County to avoid detection by officials in Montgomery County.

According to reports, both Kestner and Bowman have been persons of interest in an active criminal investigation involving Nelson. Kestner has also had an active warrant out of Robertson County.

It's believed both Nelson and Bowman may have weapons. Officials said they're being considered armed and dangerous.

Officials said they had been looking for a maroon Ford Excursion with a possible temporary tag. That was the vehicle Nelson was last seen in. On Friday afternoon, officials confirmed the Excursion had been found abandoned near Lafayette Road in Clarksville. It has been seized by the sheriff's office.

Reports stated they could be traveling in a maroon or red 2003 Jeep Cherokee with a Tennessee license plate number Y2647W.

On Wednesday, officials confirmed Nelson was believed to be the man responsible for more than $75,000 in stolen goods and more than $10,000 in damage to a local daycare. The warrant for his arrest stemmed from three incidents.

Nelson was described as standing around 5’8’’ tall and weighing approximately 180 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes.

His wife, identified as 32-year-old Sheila Joann Nelson, was arrested in connection with one of the incidents that took place on May 22. She was charged with accessory after the fact and simple possession. She was being held on a $75,000 bond.
