Here are the top three stories in Franklin today:

1. A man is in custody after being accused of dragging two Franklin police officers down the interstate on Sunday. According to investigators, officers Dystyn Stevens and Matt Lamar attempted to pull over Roy Nicholson for a traffic violation, then asked him to step outside the vehicle when they saw a gun and smelled marijuana inside. Nicholson reportedly got back into his car and started to drive away, dragging Stevens and Lamar down I-65 before additional officers were able to take him into custody. Officer Stevens was treated and released from an area hospital; Officer Lamar's injuries were superficial. (WKRN News 2)
