NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A 15-year-old was arrested Wednesday after police said he set up a Facebook Marketplace meeting to buy an electric dirt bike, then robbed the seller at gunpoint.
Detectives said the teen arranged to purchase the bike over the weekend but instead took it during the encounter. Officers later found the stolen dirt bike in the teen’s backyard and returned it to the victim.
The teen is charged in juvenile court with aggravated robbery.
Police said two handguns and firearm accessories were also recovered from the teen’s bedroom.
Additional charges are anticipated as Robbery Unit detectives continue investigating similar incidents reported in recent weeks.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
