Money, Drugs and Nine-Month-Old Found In Car After Two-County Chase Ends South of Franklin
Two people were arrested after a high-speed pursuit beginning in Marshall County screeched to a halt in an Arno Road ditch.
FRANKLIN, TN — A police chase that began in Lewisburg came to an end in a ditch south of Franklin Thursday afternoon.
The chase began when Wallace Duncan and Tanova Ewing attempted to flee from Marshall County authorities. A Williamson County deputy spotted the SUV across the county line just after 12:30 p.m. on Interstate 65 and the sheriff's office joined in the pursuit, which reached speeds of 90 m.p.h. Around 1 p.m., after spike strips were deployed, the SUV rolled into a ditch at Arno Road and South Carothers Parkway.
It was then the officers found a 9-month-old in the back of the vehicle, along with money and drugs. The child is neither Duncan's nor Ewing's and Children's Services was working to identify the child and the child's parents.
