NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two teens have been arrested following a hit and run that happened Monday morning on Commerce Street at Representative John Lewis Way.
According to Metro Police, on Sunday night the teens stole a Kia from a parking lot near the Nissan Stadium. What they did after is unclear, but they were still on the road at 6:30 am Monday morning.
In the car was 18-year-old Deshawn Horn and a 17-year-old girl. They hit a woman downtown, then ran from the car according to police. Using cameras throughout downtown, the pair were eventually spotted and later arrested outside the Walmart on Dickerson Pike.
The 18-year-old has a slew of charges including vehicle theft, drug possession and failure to render aid. He's being held on a $61,000 bond. The 17-year-old faces similar charges within the Juvenile Court.
Police are also investigating the teens involvement in other thefts.
Thankfully, the woman hit will be okay. She's recovering in the hospital.
The aftermath of the historic ice storm will be felt for a long time by many, but what looked like a hopeless situation for one small business owner proved to be quite the opposite. This community would not let her fail. Patsy Montesinos shares the story with a truly happy ending.
