Be Careful which Gas Station You Use....

Here is an email from the Crime List serv:




Hey Stephen,

If you're able to post this out on the list server I'd greatly appreciate it!

January 10, Saturday morning I filled up my car with premium gas at the Shell Gas station at 766 Douglas Ave. 2 miles down Ellington Pkwy my new car died on the side of the road. It had to be towed back to the dealer. Once the dealer took a sample of the gas from my car it contained 40% water. I have the sample from the dealer and once the tow truck took my new car off I returned to the Shell and took my own sample from the same pump. My sample also contained a large amount of water.

I've never had an issue with this Shell gas station before this past Saturday. Please be aware of this issue and ask them how often they test all the gas grades before you fill up!!

Thanks!

Recent Increase in Robbery

Straight from the List Serv (Thanks Bob!)


There have been a dozen plus robberies in East Nashville in the last
couple of weeks. Many are concentrated in the lower East Nashville area
(Chapel/Eastland, Carter/Riverside, Golf/Greenfield, S.11th, S.12th,
Russell St., Calvin St., etc.). The suspects have approached
pedestrians, brandishing firearms - usually handguns. Usually, they flee
in a vehicle. Vehicle descriptions vary slightly from a silver Jeep
Cherokee to a white Jeep Cherokee and a beige to whitish Mercury
Marquis. If vehicles resembling these cars are seen, please report to
MPD. Numerous East Precinct resources, as in all of them, are out
looking for the suspects. Folks are being robbed while walking, leaving
their vehicles or going into their homes, so we should consider the
suspects dangerous. Tell your friends and neighbors to beonguard.

Carjacker Apprehended..

Bruton's Mugshot

Last Friday night, John Bruton was relaxing by himself, masturbating in the cozy confines of his car. He had his pants and underwear pulled down, and an array of porn magazines fanned out on the dashboard.

Unfortunately, Bruton’s car was parked in front of a Kroger at 711 Gallatin Road, right near Eastland Avenue.

You would think that Bruton received the shock of his life when Metro Nashville police officer Jerry Bell walked up to the car and tapped on the driver’s side window. But according to the police report Bell filed, Bruton remained pretty calm.

The carjacker “looked at me and then pulled up his pants and underpants and placed the pornographic magazines in the vehicle’s glove box,” Bell wrote in his report. Bruton exited the car and Bell asked him to turn around and place his hands behind his back for cuffing. “No, I ain’t doing it,” said Bruton, according to Bell’s report.

The officer then forced Bruton to turn around and the two scuffled. “The defendant…grabbed a hold of the front of my uniform… We struggled, which resulted in us hitting the grocery cart bin and then falling to the ground.”

Bruton took off running down Gallatin, though he was apprehended a short time later. Today he will go to court and face charges of indecent exposure, resisting arrest, and assault.
