Alleged street racer arrested after evading Metro police twice in one night
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A driver reportedly dodged Nashville law enforcement twice Saturday night, but they still took him into custody amid a Street Racer Initiative. According to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), a Dodge Charger was seen driving at a high rate of speed on Nolensville Pike at Harding Place when officers tried to perform a traffic stop on Saturday, March 1. 'If you're out there street racing in Nashville, your run's about to come to an end': Metro Councilmember frustrated by street racing Authorities said the Charger fled the scene, but MNPD Aviation followed it to Edmondson Pike near Old Hickory Boulevard, where officers attempted a second traffic stop. However, the Charger allegedly failed to yield again, traveling at 100 mph and passing vehicles in center turn lanes to evade police. Law enforcement apprehended the driver — identified by MNPD as 27-year-old Frank Eduardo Reyes-Borrayo — after the Charger backed into a parking space in the 2500 block of Murfreesboro Pike. According to officials, a semi-automatic pistol was recovered from the driver's side door, but Reyes-Borrayo 'is not a U.S. citizen and cannot lawfully possess a firearm.' Teen charged with street racing after police chase in Nashville The Davidson County Sheriff's Office said Reyes-Borrayo — whose age is listed as 25 rather than 27 in his jail records — is being held in the Downtown Detention Center on a $27,000 bond for felony reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon (vehicle), two counts of felony evading arrest (with a vehicle/risk of injury), misdemeanor unlawful possession of a firearm, and misdemeanor not having a driver's license. However, he is not eligible for release due to a detainer from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. No additional details have been released about Saturday night's arrest.
