Man Arrested For Auto Theft On Saturday Rearrested Tuesday Evening In Nashville

Press release from the City of Nashville:

April 14, 2020

Just three days after his arrest for stealing a Chevrolet Impala, Jalem Buford, 18, was rearrested Tuesday evening, this time for speeding away from North Precinct officers in a GMC pickup truck stolen from Elmshade Lane on Monday.

Unfortunately for Buford, an MNPD helicopter was overhead and followed the truck to 45th Avenue North at Delaware Avenue where Buford stopped and fled on foot. Buford jumped several fences before officers caught up with him and took him into custody in a back yard near 45th Avenue North and Georgia Avenue. Inside the stolen pickup truck were two shotguns taken during a vehicle burglary Monday on Brentwood Meadows Circle.

Buford is charged with vehicle theft, felony evading arrest, vehicle burglary, and gun theft. Unlike the $3,000 bond set for Buford Saturday, he is now jailed in lieu of $85,000 bond.
