<br />
<strong>NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Metro police are searching for a man who attempted to abduct a seven-year-old girl Thursday morning from an Antioch bus stop. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The incident occurred at the intersection of Johnson Pass Road and Johnson Ridge Road around 7:30 a.m., however the victim did not tell anyone until after school. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>"She's never going to the bus stop alone again ever," the victim's mother, Angie Garay, told Nashville's News 2.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Angie Garay said she typically sends her daughter out to the bus stop around 7:25 a.m. with dozens of other neighborhood children and the bus arrives minutes later. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>However, on Thursday, due to the cold and rainy weather conditions, many of the other neighborhood children were inside their homes waiting for the school bus. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>"Other kids have the luxury of hearing the bus as it approaches because they live closer to the main street," Angie Garay explained. "We have to send her out because we can't hear it in our house."</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The girl said she was alone when the man approached her. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>"I was just standing there by myself, and the person just came walking towards me and he asked me if I was there alone then I said yes and he pulled me by the arm and then I was running," she recalled.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The girl told police just as the man grabbed her by the arm, her school bus started coming up the street.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>"The [other neighborhood] kids heard the sound of the bus and they all started coming out and he saw them and let her go," Angie Garay said. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The child did not tell anyone of the incident until later Thursday evening because she was scared and confused.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Her father, Marcos Garay, said when his daughter told him what happened at the bus stop he immediately called police. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>"[She said], 'Dad somebody tried to kidnap me today,' and I asked her what she was talking about," he said. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Metro police Sgt. John Pepper said they are investigating the incident and plan to increase security in the neighborhood. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>"We're going to have extra police officers out in this area, both marked and unmarked police cars, and we'd be interested what any of the neighbors have to say about suspicious vehicles or persons who might be in the area," he said. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Police also said they plan to investigate to see if any sex offenders have recently moved into the area. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Authorities urge parents to talk to their children about what to do if a stranger approaches them.</strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4698127169653408482.post-86096305209707458122011-11-04T17:47:00.000-05:002011-11-04T17:47:02.233-05:00Men in van sought after pointing gun at students<strong>WKRN Channel 2 News</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>Nashville Crime Stoppers Metro police are working to locate a van containing two men, one of whom reportedly pointed a gun at two Cole Elementary School students as they walked on Colemont Drive in Antioch between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m. Friday.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The students were walking with three of their friends when they said a white or silver-colored van with tinted windows and a company logo on the side approached.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The students said that the passenger in the van, who was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a black mask, pointed a pistol at two girls, ages seven and eight, and exclaimed, "Trick or Treat." </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The students ran to one of their homes on Gillespie Drive. A parent contacted police.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>No one was injured.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The van, which was described as having ladders on the top, was last seen traveling on Colemont Drive.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Anyone with information on the van is urged to contact Metro detectives at 615-862-7744 or Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Residents who live near Percy Priest Lake have been asking for a tornado siren, and they will soon be getting their wish.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The new siren will be announced Monday night at a meeting hosted by Councilwoman Karen Johnson.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>She was elected in August to represent District 29 in the Percy Priest area.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>In April, the area was represented by Vivian Wilhoite, who was lobbying for the new siren.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The new siren at Percy Priest Lake is part of a $2-million emergency siren upgrade and improvement plan approved by the Metro Council.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Former Councilwoman Vivian Wilhoite said she became aware of the problem when a man told her he could only hear a warning siren from the I-40 side of the lake.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>"It is important that people who are outside on the lake which is an area, definitely that area of Davidson County, they know when to take cover. They know it's serious weather whenever the sirens are going off," said Wilhoite.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>There has been some speculation that the Smith Springs pumping station may be considered. Metro already owns it.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>There are currently more than 70 tornado sirens in Nashville. The plan approved by Metro Council includes additional sirens and upgrades throughout the city.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Representatives from Metro's Office of Emergency Management are supposed to be at the meeting to talk about possible locations for the new siren.</strong><br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>Updates were provided on the Southern Hills initiative - Southern Hill's CEO Thomas Ozburn and Outreach Coordinator Emily Summers presented information about the renovation happening at Southern Hills. Open invitation was given to stop by for a tour. They also conveyed their interest in the southeast community and would be working to bring immediate health care services to the area. They have brought 55 acres in the Antioch area but ask the community residence for additional ideal locations. Lots of questions were asked. This is a great opportunity for community input. </strong><br />

<strong>It was never intended for Engine 33/35 to be in one location - Also at the community meeting, David Heflin, General Services for Metro, conveyed the good news that we will be getting a new fire hall. The new fire hall will replace the old fire hall and remain located on Forest View Drive. The planning stage will include community input. I requested that the plans include a community room for meetings and fellowship. Ground breaking is expected to occur in about 6 months. Both engines will be housed at the Forest View location until the improvements are completed. </strong><br />

<strong>According to data provided by the Tennessee Department of Health, in 2009 there were 4,900 reported cases of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, however the actual number may be higher because 20 percent of individuals with HIV/AIDS do not know they are infected. </strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Also, statistics show that in Nashville, there were 400 reported new cases, of which 50 percent were African-American.</strong><br />

<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>On Monday, August 24, 2011, Council Lady Vivian Wilhoite has learned that the Metro Legal Department has filed suit in the Davidson County Chancery Court to overturn the Board of Zoning Appeal’s decision that would allow for a digital billboard to be installed at the corner of Bell Road and Murfreesboro Road. The Board of Zoning Appeals voted in favor of the applicant to allow the digital billboard.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Council Lady Wilhoite says, “I am very pleased that the Metro Legal Department has made this decision to move forward with the option of a suit against the board’s decision. The Zoning Board June 16th decision will greatly impact our neighborhood in a negative way, setting a ripple effect on neighborhoods countywide. I am cautiously optimistic and hope that the courts will side with the community in this matter.”</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>After appearing before the Board of Zoning Appeals with other neighbors against the digital billboard, Council Lady Wilhoite penned a letter to Metro Legal Director Sue Cain on June 17th immediately after the Board’s decision urging that they file the suit. In the letter, Wilhoite agreed with Metro Legal's interpretation of “use” as a change going from static to digital and that the Board’s decision to allow a digital billboard would compromise safety for the motorist in that area.</strong><br />

<strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong><br />
<strong>August 12, 2011</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Youth Services detectives this evening are charging 68-year-old Marion Ingram with attempted especially aggravated kidnapping for allegedly trying to grab an 11-year-old boy in Old Hickory Thursday afternoon.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The 11-year-old told officers that he was approaching Ray Avenue on his bicycle when he noticed a blue pickup truck slowly pass him. The boy said when he turned on Ray Avenue, the pickup truck began traveling in reverse following him. The boy pulled into the Ray Avenue driveway of his family’s landlord and knocked on the door. There was no answer. As he walked away from the residence, he no longer saw the truck, but did spot a man hiding behind nearby trees. When the boy went to get his bike, he said the man came toward him, reached out and said, “get in the truck.” The boy said when the man grabbed for him, he kicked the individual in the groin, rode his bike home and told his mother.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>The child’s mother said that her son arrived home terrified (slamming doors, shutting curtains and pushing a chair up against the door). When he relayed to her what had happened, the mother and the child got into her car and began searching for the pickup truck. She spotted it on Pitts Avenue. Her son confirmed that the driver was the man who tried to grab him. The mother recorded the license plate number and contacted police.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
<br />
strong><br />
<strong>Detective Mike Clark found the 1972 pickup truck and Ingram this morning at Ingram’s Elm Street home in Madison. Ingram has denied any involvement with the child yesterday; nevertheless, the young man has not wavered in his account to both detectives and his parents. Both the child and his mother identified Ingram from a photo lineup as the man they encountered Thursday. </strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Anyone with information about any dealings between Ingram and children is urged to contact the Youth Services Division at 862-7417.</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>This case is not believed to have any connection to recent reported attempted abductions in Clarksville and Mt. Juliet.</strong><br />

<strong>Nashville residents will have the opportunity to receive information about the city’s “Unified Flood Preparedness Plan” being developed by Metro Water Services. A series of public meetings will be held over the next 12 months to gather input from the community in the development of the plan, which will include recommended projects to reduce damages from a future flood similar to the May 2010 disaster.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>In the five initial meetings, attendees will receive information about goals and objectives of the program, the planning process that has been established to identify, evaluate and select flood damage reduction solutions, and the communications plan that will be used to share information with and receive input from citizens. Everyone is encouraged to attend one of these meetings.</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>The meetings will be located in the four geographic quadrants of Davidson County (Northeast, Northwest, Southeast and Southwest) and downtown. However, the meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>As many of you know, Mr. David and Becky Waynick saw a wonderful restoration vision in the GranDale Manor. This is the home that many of us affectionately call "The White House," located on Nashboro Boulevard in Nashboro Village. The Waynicks poured many hours of labor of love into this 29th district diamond. It will serve as the law offices of Mr. Waynick and his partner, Mr. Luck. But what is really great, it will also serve as an event/community place that one can lease for special occasions like weddings, showers, etc. It is simple beautiful!! Some of us have had a rare opportunity to see this beautiful place. It is now complete and waiting for you to see it with other friends and guests. We hope to see you at the GranDale on Saturday. </strong><br />
