Convicted felon arrested after leading Williamson County deputies on pursuit in stolen SUV
It all started on Tuesday, April 1 as an alert out of Nashville for law enforcement to look out for a convicted felon.
Williamson County deputies picked up the pursuit on Interstate 65 South. The vehicle was allegedly being driven by Deterrius McClain, 30, who was in a Ford Explorer reported stolen out of Maury County.
One of Metro's 'Most Wanted' fugitives sought for rape of a child
According to the Williamson County Sheriff's Office, a helicopter kept eyes on the fleeing vehicle while ground units worked to contain the suspect. A deputy was able to lay out spike strips in the Thompson Station area and flatten all four of the vehicle's tires. The vehicle was forced to stop and the suspect ran into a field.
Body camera footage from the end of the chase shows a deputy running through the field with his weapon drawn, barking out commands for McClain to lay down and not move. In the background, you can see the WCSO helicopter guiding units to the suspect.
'Our teams worked incredibly together. There were warrants units; Air 1, which is our aviation unit; and our patrol units and K9 unit working together meticulously to apprehend the suspect,' WCSO Capt. Becky Coyle told News 2.
According to the Tennessee Department of Correction's website, McClain was arrested on cocaine charges and was out of prison on probation until 2040.

His Maury County record is also substantial, dating back some 10 years with many felonies, such as aggravated burglary, drug sales, and thefts.
'I am so incredibly proud of our dispatchers. I mean, the communication was excellent. Everybody knew where everyone was at,' Coyle added.
McClain is in the Williamson County Jail facing multiple charges, including evading arrest and reckless endangerment. Not only is there a hold on him for other organizations, but he's also wanted on warrants out of Maury County. There's no word on how this may affect his probationary status with TDOC.

A year and a half after Big Jook was killed, Memphis police still searching for leads
More than 18 months after Big Jook, brother of Memphis rapper Yo Gotti, was killed outside a Hickory Hill restaurant, Memphis police said they still have no suspects in the investigation that can be publicly named. Anthony "Big Jook" Mims, 47, was posthumously tied to the murder of Memphis rapper — and rival to Yo Gotti — Young Dolph by Shelby County prosecutors. "No updates at this time. This is an ongoing investigation," said Memphis Police Public Information Officer Theresa Carlson in an email statement on July 30. Big Jook was killed Jan. 13, 2024. In the wake of that shooting, the Memphis Police Department posted on Facebook that an officer in the area of 6385 Winchester Rd. heard multiple gunshots around 4:15 p.m. The officer drove to where they heard the shots come from and found two victims with multiple gunshot wounds. Both were taken to the hospital. One of those victims was Big Jook, who died at the hospital. The other survived the shooting. The one lead Memphis police had from Big Jook's killing was a photograph of a vehicle — a white Ford Explorer without a license plate — driving from the scene. Police said a witness saw the vehicle driving from the scene and alleged the suspects were in it. Big Jook and the other man who was injured in the shooting, according to then-Deputy Chief Paul Wright, had been attending a repass following a funeral service. He added that it was not clear if there were multiple shooters, but that police believed the Big Jook was the target of the shooting. Though having surveillance photos of the car alleged to have been used by the shooters to escape the scene, the case has been cold since. Police have repeatedly been asked by The Commercial Appeal about updates, and have been told there are none to give and that the investigation is ongoing. Months after his death, during the trial for one of the men accused of killing Young Dolph in November 2021, Shelby County Deputy District Attorney Paul Hagerman alleged Big Jook put a hit out on Young Dolph. Big Jook, according to Hagerman, was one of the higher-ups at Yo Gotti's label, Collective Music Group. During that trial, prosecutors spoke about a well-known, ongoing feud between CMG and Young Dolph's label, Paper Route Empire. As part of that feud, Hagerman alleged Big Jook placed a $100,000 price tag on Young Dolph's murder. Hagerman said Big Jook approached Justin Johnson, who has since been convicted of Young Dolph's killing, and offered Johnson a chance to get signed to CMG if he did it. Johnson had previously gone by the stage name Straight Drop. Big Jook had an active role in CMG's management, though his title with the record label — if he had one — was not publicly known. Despite that, he was regularly seen with the label's artists at events, and industry sources indicated he was involved in scouting talent, helping manage and promoting that company's projects.
