23-year-old Donald Lamont Tucker was observed speeding on his sports bike down Dickerson Pike near Robert Cartwright Drive on July 31st. Officers noticed a motorcycle with a male, later identified as Tucker, wearing a black shirt and helmet with a female passenger with blonde hair wearing a black helmet and a pink shirt, going 82 mph in a 50 mph zone. Police then activated their emergency equipment, attempting to initiate a traffic stop.
As officers did this, they heard the bicycle accelerate quickly before turning onto Dry Creek Road towards Gallatin Road. After this, officers put a BOLO over their in-car radio describing Tucker and his passenger. A short time later, patrolling officers located Tucker pumping gas at the Rivergate Parkway Racetrac, confirmed that he was the person in question, and detained him for the occurrence. Tucker was then taken into custody for evading arrest by motor vehicle.
Donald Lamont Tucker of Crump Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 31st, charged with evading arrest. He is free on a $3,500 bond.
