NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A huge group of apparent street racers was caught on film in Antioch Friday night by NewsChannel 5's Sky5 team.
The racers gathered at the intersection of Murfreesboro Pike and Bell Road near Bank of America and Krystal. They headed toward La Vergne and pulled into a loading dock where the drivers did donuts in the parking lot.
Metro Police were around the area and even pulled some people over. Many were arrested, including four people who are facing felony evading arrest charges.
Within an hour, everyone got back in their cars and dispersed.
Several neighbors in the area posted online about the noise, and Metro Council Member Joy Styles said she's requested more police patrols in the area.
MNPD and THP helicopters were involved in spotting the vehicles that sped away from officers on the ground.
Among those arrested are Patrick Jones, 27, of Memphis, Marricus Duncan, 23, of Humbolt, Derrick Vassar, 23, of Gallatin, Mackquies Raymond, 21, of Nashville, Tyler J. Cobb, 21, of Murfreesboro, and Jermont Robinson, 21 of La Vergne.
Citations written during the operations included speeding, unlawful gun possession, felony evading arrest, excessive noise, careless driving, aggravated reckless driving, running red lights, driving on a suspended license, failure to use a turn signal and not having proof of insurance, among others.
