2 wanted men arrested after separate Sunday traffic stops in Mt. Juliet
Mt. Juliet's Guardian Shield system alerted officers with the Mt. Juliet Police Department to a 2015 Kia Optima that had been reported stolen from a Nashville hotel in September 2024 after the Kia's owner used valet parking.
Officers found and intercepted the Kia on Lebanon Road near Nonaville Road. The driver, a 30-year-old Nashville man, was found to have an outstanding warrant for shoplifting in Wilson County. Additionally, he was found to be driving on a revoked license.
A 27-year-old passenger, also from Nashville, was taken into custody. Officers ultimately recovered methamphetamine during the traffic stop.

Driver's photo sparks $400 warning over little known road rule 'actively' enforced

Drivers are being reminded to give their number plates a good scrub after a weekend off the beaten track, with police warning that if they're too dirty to read, motorists could be slapped with a fine of more than $400 — all for letting your car wear the camping trip on the drive home. Photos were shared online this week of a Kia covered from top to bottom in dirt on a Melbourne road, with a local jokingly asking others if the vehicle was "safe" from speed and mobile detection cameras, due to the plates being virtually unreadable. What started as a simple post turned into a heated debate, with Aussies sharing their varied opinions on the seriousness of the potential offence. The original poster clarified that the front of the vehicle was much the same as the back, but people were divided on whether or not having dirt-covered plates would actually attract a fine. "I hope the driver was driving to the car wash ASAP," the Victorian wrote. "I wonder how much leeway a driver would have in a situation like this?" one commenter responded. "If you literally just drove through mud or dirt that did this, and are driving somewhere to hose it off, would you get let off by the cops? The mud is still wet, so it's super obvious it just happened? I mean, you're allowed to drive an unregistered car if you're driving it to get it registered — does the same principle apply?" It was a sentiment many Aussies echoed. But speaking to Yahoo News, a Victoria Police spokesperson confirmed that you can get stung for the seemingly harmless act. Police are "actively" monitoring for those sorts of breaches, they said. "Motorists are required to have their number plate affixed and displayed in accordance with regulations," the Victoria Police spokesperson warned. "The penalty for failing to display number plates correctly is $407 and three demerit points. Police will actively intercept and enforce if a number plate is obscured." And technically, it could get even more costly. A spokesperson for the Victorian Department of Justice told Yahoo the police would certainly "be looking to pull over that driver" with the maximum penalty enforceable when taken to court being a whopping $2,000. Why must your number plates be shown at all times? Obstructed number plates aren't just a cosmetic issue — they're a serious road rule breach. If your plates are covered in mud, dust, or even a bike rack, you could be fined big bucks, depending on where you live. Drivers will be hit with a stiff $544 fine for the offence in New South Wales and $341 in Queensland, with a big jump if the matter goes before the courts. Detail in uniquely Aussie number plate leaves motorists in stitches Dodgy detail in Aussie's number plate could attract $900 fine Centrelink number plate on $150K Mercedes spotted debate The reason? Your rego needs to be clearly visible to both police and road monitoring cameras. It's how authorities enforce things like speed limits, tolls and stolen vehicle alerts. If your plate can't be read, it's not just inconvenient — it undermines safety. Obstruction doesn't have to be deliberate to get you fined. Whether it's leftover mud from an off-road trip or a cargo strap flapping over the plate, if it blocks the view, you're in the wrong. A quick check before hitting the road — or a rinse after a weekend away — could save you. "This is a relatively common offence that people are charged with," traffic lawyer Avinash Singh previously told Yahoo News. "It is particularly common for those who drive off-road or reside in regional areas where they are required to use dirt roads regularly. In practice, the rule unfairly targets those drivers."

Nashville music community mourns deaths of ‘American Idol' executive, husband

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — An 'American Idol' executive and her songwriting husband, with close ties to Nashville, were found dead in their California home, leaving many people heartbroken. The couple — identified as Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca, both 70 years old — were discovered with multiple gunshot wounds on Monday, July 14 after officers responded to the upscale Encino, California, residence for a welfare check around 2:30 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Authorities said they believe the suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian of Encino, entered the home through an unlocked door. Then, when the homeowners returned, a violent struggle reportedly ensued between the couple and the suspect, resulting in the victims' deaths, before Boodarian ran off. ORIGINAL STORY | 'American Idol' executive, her husband fatally shot in California home: reports According to the Associated Press, investigators believe Boodarian was burglarizing the home several days earlier while the couple was away, but even though police were called to the residence on Thursday, July 10, they found no signs of trouble or forced entry. Among the couple's close friends is Ronnie Brooks, who was in a band with Deluca called The Piggies in the late 1970s and early 1980s. 'Tom and I had played music together, and so I can just say, locally, that we had lots of fans that loved Tom's music, his writing and singing, and what we did as a band, and then Robin, her career really blossomed when they got to L.A.,' Brooks recalled. PREVIOUS | Arrest made in deadly shooting of 'American Idol' executive, her husband in California Brooks and Deluca both played the guitar, and that passion for music developed into a close friendship that lasted many years. He considered them family, adding that they always insisted Brooks stay at their home while visiting Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Kaye was an award-winning music producer who had worked on 'American Idol' since 2009, but she had also worked on Miss Universe, the NAACP Image Awards, and other high-profile shows, according to News 2's sister station, KTLA. 'We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband Tom's passing. Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came into contact with her,' an 'American Idol' spokesperson said in a statement sent to KTLA. 'Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathies with her family and friends during this difficult time.' ⏩ If you have any information that will help with this ongoing double homicide investigation, you're asked to contact LAPD's Valley Homicide Division at 818-374-9550.
