A coordinated effort between Violent Crimes detectives and MNPD Aviation last night led to the arrest of three individuals as well as the recovery of two stolen Infiniti Q50s, five firearms and 60 grams of marijuana. Detectives located the first Infiniti Q50 driving northbound on Dickerson Pike near Old Hickory Boulevard with a temporary tag that was not on file.
The Infiniti fled from an attempted traffic stop at high rate of speed. Aviation observed the Infiniti going more than 90 miles per hour, running multiple traffic lights in an effort to evade detectives.
The Infiniti stopped on Westchester Drive and the two occupants ran into a nearby home. Detectives were able to locate and arrest the occupants, Kejuan Hodges, 19, and a 17-year-old.
Marijuana was recovered from the floorboard of the Infiniti, which was reported stolen out of county on April 1. A second Infiniti Q50, which was also reported stolen out of county on April 18, was located in the driveway of the residence.
Five weapons, including one stolen firearm, were recovered from inside the home into which Hodges and the teenager ran. The owner of the home, Ricky Davis, 39, has multiple felony convictions.
Davis was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon. He was released on $2,500 bond.
Hodges, who was arrested in February on several charges, including aggravated robbery and aggravated assault, is now charged with two counts of vehicle theft, evading arrest, marijuana possession and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. He remains jailed this afternoon on $51,000 bond.
The 17-year-old was charged in Juvenile Court.
