The shelter-in-place was lifted later Tuesday evening after Tennille Reece surrendered to police. The Mt. Juliet man was charged with resisting a stop and drug possession. Officers reported he had alprazolam and heroin on him when he surrendered.
The suspect exited the home and surrendered without further incident. We are thankful for a peaceful resolution. The area should be clearing soon, and residents no longer need to shelter-in-place. More details to come.
