Franklin Police: Nashville Man Arrested After Jumping From Car, Hiding in Logan's Roadhouse Women's Restroom, Flushing Heroin

FRANKLIN, TN — It was an allegedly busy afternoon in Cool Springs for 27-year-old Robert Lucas.

Franklin Police say Lucas leaped out of a moving car on Bakers Bridge Road when a squad car pulled behind it at 3:45 Monday afternoon. After a brief pursuit, officers say they found Lucas hiding in a stall in a women's bathroom at Logan's Roadhouse, where became "combative" but was eventually subdued after a brief struggle.

The officers say Lucas told them he went into the bathroom to inject heroin, though it was not clear why he did not use the men's bathroom to do so. Police found evidence of heroin in the stall, where they believe Lucas tried to flush it.

Lucas, a convicted felon on probation, is charged with resisting stop, halt or frisk, and with evidence tampering. He is being held in the Williamson County Jail on $7,000 bond.
