Law enforcement in Nashville during a significant drug and gun bust after traffic stops.
In a challenging day for Nashville law enforcement, two significant arrests were made involving drug and gun violations. DeAngelo Miller and two others were apprehended following routine traffic stops, leading to alarming discoveries including illegal substances and firearms. These incidents underscore the ongoing battle against drugs and gun violence in the city, prompting residents to stay vigilant.
In what can be described as a busy day for law enforcement, Nashville has witnessed two significant arrests involving convicted felons tangled in drug and gun violations. The Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) had their hands full this past Tuesday, unveiling alarming situations after stopping vehicles for traffic violations.
First on the scene was 35-year-old DeAngelo Miller, a man already on the radar due to his criminal past. Miller, with previous convictions for aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary, was under investigation for a shooting that happened back in March 2024. It was a routine traffic stop triggered by police noticing him driving with a suspended license. But instead of complying, Miller made a run for it, ditching his vehicle while police were in pursuit.
As he fled, Miller discarded a suspicious satchel that would come back to haunt him. Officers later recovered this satchel and found a shocking array of illegal substances:
That wasn’t all. Hidden between the driver’s seat and the center console in his abandoned vehicle was a Glock semi-automatic pistol. Talk about a risky business! Miller now faces a mountain of charges including:
Miller is currently locked up at Metro Jail with a hefty bond set at $137,500.
As if that wasn’t enough chaos for one day, the MNPD also stopped another vehicle on 39th Avenue North, leading to the arrest of Stephen Boyd (26) and Jaden Wright (18). Initially pulled over for a vehicle violation, the officers’ keen eyes soon spotted marijuana in plain view, raising alarms of what might be found next.
A thorough search of their car unveiled an array of illicit goodies, including:
Boyd, who has a checkered history himself with a previous conviction for aggravated assault in 2022, faces multiple serious charges, including:
Boyd’s current bond stands at $53,000, while Wright is looking at charges of drug possession and drug paraphernalia. He is being held with a bond of $29,000.
This series of arrests shines a glaring spotlight on the ongoing battle against drugs and gun violence in our streets. Residents are encouraged to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to keep Nashville safe. It’s a tough job for our local police, but they’re on the case, working hard to keep the community secure.
