Hello, neighbors! Sammi Caramela here with your brand-new Franklin Daily.
First, today's weather:
Plenty of sunshine. High: 46 Low: 22.
Here are the top three stories today in Franklin:
- Franklin police send out holiday crime-prevention safety reminders. They want to remind citizens to lock their cars and not to keep valuable items inside. Thieves check cars for unlocked doors, and they are likely to break a window or door to retrieve a valuable possession inside. (Williamson Source)
- Multiple agencies work together to arrest a violent offender on I-65 in Franklin. After hitting another motorist, the suspect's car spun off I-65 into an embankment. Police approached the vehicle, arrested the suspect, and seized a loaded handgun from the car, along with Xanax bars. (WKRN)
- CoolSprings Galleria will be hosting Santa for a meet and greet from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday. Visits are free, and there are photos and other keepsakes available for purchase. (AARP)
