Officers tried to stop the Stuart after it got off the interstate and onto Elliston Place, but he sped away.
Officers did not chase the Charger, instead, the MNPD helicopter followed it from the air into Sumner County where it parked at a Hendersonville home.
The helicopter crew kept a spotlight on the car and coordinated with Sumner County deputies to take Stuart into custody. He was charged in Nashville with felony evading, drag racing and reckless driving. The Charger was registered to Stuart’s mother in Hendersonville and was left with her Wednesday night.
