Teamwork between an alert North Nashville citizen, Patrol Officer Byron Carter, Canine Officer Joe Shelton and police dog Memphis led to the apprehension of two burglars as they were attempting to flee a home on Underwood Street this afternoon.
At 11:25 a.m., a citizen telephoned police to report that a home in the 2400 block of Underwood Street was being burglarized. Officer Carter arrived on the scene very quickly and saw the suspects run from the rear of a home. Carter ordered both of them to stop. Adrian Cheers complied with the officer’s instructions. His accomplice, Norlelle Clack, did not and took off running.
Officer Shelton and Memphis were among the officers who began looking for Clack. Memphis tracked Clack to Scovel Street and apprehended him hiding underneath a car.
Cheers and Clack, both 18 and both of 26th Avenue North, were trying to make their getaway with a stolen video game system, 100 DVDs and a cell phone. Cheers is charged with aggravated burglary and theft. Clack is charged with aggravated burglary and evading arrest. Ironically, Clack was arrested for aggravated burglary on September 24 and was free on $5,000 bond awaiting a January court appearance.
