Death of 6-month-old baby ties to immigration, emergency service concerns in La Vergne
La Vergne Police Chief Christopher Moews suspects deportation fears might have contributed to a delay in emergency calls related to the death of a 6-month-old baby around Easter. Moews learned about the death of the child April 12 and planned a town hall meeting for May 21 at Community Church in La Vergne to communicate with the city's Hispanic population about emergency services. "Nobody wants another dead 6-month-old baby," said Moews, a second-year chief. "We're here to help people." The child's death and planning for the town hall happened about three weeks prior to reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs agents had arrived in Rutherford County to apprehend people for possible deportation, Moews said. The baby's death remains under investigation and involved a male caretaker who noticed the child was not breathing and didn't call 911 for help. The caretaker's girlfriend arrived and did call 911, Moews said. The male caretaker "was in the country illegally," Moews said. Immigration issues: ICE says nearly 200 immigrants arrested in Nashville during recent operations Moews urged residents during the recent town hall to not be fearful to call 911 if faced with an emergency no matter their immigration status. "We are trying to encourage people to call the police and not be afraid," Moews told The Daily News Journal May 27. About 30 people attended the town hall at Community Church on Old Nashville Highway in La Vergne, Moews said. The church sign touts worship services in English, Creole, Spanish, Nigerian and Arabic. The chief said the turnout might have been stronger had there not been recent reports about ICE agents being in Rutherford County. New law enforcement leadership: La Vergne offers police chief job to Milwaukee police Capt. Christopher Moews Among those who attended the town hall for people concerned with ICE operations is Rutherford County Commissioner Hope Oliver, D-La Vergne. "It's sad," Oliver told The Daily News Journal May 27. "That's what's going on under the current administration. I think it's just domestic terrorism." Oliver represents District 1 in north La Vergne and is one of two elected Democrats on the 21-member county commission that also includes 16 Republicans and three independents. 2022 election results: 21-member Rutherford County Commission will see new faces with 9 elected officials Tennessee Department of Correction spokeswoman Sarah Gallagher confirmed to The Daily News Journal May 8 that ICE agents apprehended people in Rutherford. "In a coordinated effort to increase public safety, 14 individuals were detained by ICE agents at TDOC's Probation/Parole Office in Murfreesboro this week," Gallagher said. "TDOC will continue to uphold the law, and partner with state and federal agencies to support ICE operations as needed." The town hall event in La Vergne also followed ICE operations conducted May 2-10 in Nashville that resulted in nearly 200 arrests during a joint operation between the Tennessee Highway Patrol and ICE. ICE officials have not confirmed if any of those arrested during the May THP stops come from cities outside of Nashville. May 7 report on raids: Nashville ICE agency says 84 arrested since May 3 in operation with THP In a May 9 social media post, the La Vergne Police Department said it did not participate with law enforcement on immigration enforcement. "While we did become aware today that other agencies have been conducting enforcement operations within city limits, we have not been contacted or included in those efforts," the department said in a statement on Facebook. "We remain committed to transparency, community trust, and serving all residents of La Vergne with fairness and professionalism. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out." ICE operation in Nashville: Traffic stops with THP lead to arrests. Here's what to know Moews told the town hall audience that the city's police force is not partnering with ICE on apprehending people unlawfully present. The La Vergne police force, however, will follow Tennessee law and notify ICE if officers learn about any immigrants in the city without legal status to be in the country, Moews said. "We're stuck in the middle," Moews said. "We have to provide service to the whole community, but we have to abide in the law." Officers making traffic stops for speeding do not typically ask for immigration status, said Moews, who has served in law enforcement since 1994 in Wisconsin for most of his career before accepting his chief position in La Vergne in August 2023. "I have personally done thousands of traffic stops, and I can't recall a single one where I asked about someone's immigration status," Moews said. UPDATE: Detectives seek witness of shooting death of man in car on I-24 near Waldron Road La Vergne Mayor Jason Cole also attended the town hall. "You had people there who were concerned about themselves or their neighbors, and you had people there who were actually trying to find out what the actual letter of the law is," Cole told The Daily News Journal May 27. "Chief Moews put it simply. We enforce the law." Cole promised to attend the town hall provided that his flight home would arrive on time after promoting his city to businesses at the International Council of Shopping Centers event at the Las Vegas Convention Center May 18-20. "I'm supportive of listening to our residents and responding appropriately," Cole said. "The residents of La Vergne put me and the rest of the (La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen in elected office) to listen to them. To not listen or respond accordingly, would be a betrayal of their trust." Mayor Cole also said he's never been asked about his status as a lawful citizen whenever he's been pulled over by police.

State police fatal crash concern heightens for '100 deadliest days' on road
The Brief The period between Memorial Day and Labor Day is referred to by state police as the 100 deadliest days on the road. State police say there more fatal crashes and higher speeds on the road of late, causing concern. FOX 2 - State police say more drivers are going over the speed limits causing more crashes and more lives lost. The 100 deadliest days on the road has started, running now through Labor Day. Why you should care Troopers are seeing more drivers doing the big three - excessively speeding, driving distracted and following too closely - putting their lives and that of others, at risk. "We are seeing a lot more of those specific crashes," said 1st Lt. Mike Shaw, Michigan State Police. The dangerous mix is to blame for 314 fatalities and more than 1,500 injuries already this year. Shaw said he expects those numbers to climb in the coming weeks. "Especially in the City of Detroit we see drag racing and some of the things that are going on out there at the car shows," Shaw said. "And going out to tell somebody that their family member was killed because somebody drove like an idiot is just not the way to go about it." Families like the Herrins whose loss we shared with you around Easter weekend. Their loved one, Mark, was riding his motorcycle when he was killed after crashing with a white Cadillac. Investigators say the other driver fled afterward. "Just to be so selfish to drive away from a scene like that, is totally inhumane," said Steve Bogan, the victim's brother. "How can somebody do that?" Michigan State Police confirmed that no fatal accidents were reported in Metro Detroit's Second District this Memorial Day weekend – a first in years – but, they remains cautious about the days to come. "It's personal responsibility, right?" Shaw said. "I mean when you get behind the wheel of a car, you're responsible for basically, what is a weapon." A weapon on wheels that Lt. Shaw says is not taken seriously, especially when it comes to seatbelts. "We used to have 97 to 98% seatbelt compliance," he said. "We led the country in seatbelt use. We're about down to 92% now, where people just aren't wearing their seatbelts anymore. "You should use every protective item that you have in your vehicle to keep you safe."

Hagerstown City Council poised to approve tax hike
HAGERSTOWN, Md. () — Hagerstown City Council is set to approve a tax increase at its Tuesday night meeting at City Hall. All but one member of the Council has indicated they will support the hike. The average city household will likely see its tax bill rise by $65. The reason? For one, the Easter weekend storm set the city back by $643,000 for cleanup. And there are capital costs associated with downtown development. Then, too, there is more funding to staff up the city police force. 'We've got about a $2 million gap that we need to make up,' said Councilman Kristen Aleshire. 'And that's largely because we are investing in public safety.' Man arrested for shooting at Bowlero in Bethesda 'I've got 12 people in the academy and people in the pipeline to hire,' said Hagerstown Police Chief Paul Kifer. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
