Nashville Juvenile Task Force Seizes Guns, Drugs, Stolen Car

NASHVILLE, TN -- While patrolling for stolen cars in the James Cayce Homes, the Metro Police Juvenile Crimes Task Force found guns and drugs, in addition to a stolen Chevrolet.

Officers said they spotted a Chevrolet Lumina that had been reported stolen from 12th Street April 23, but the sedan sped away. The officers then found the car unoccupied nearby but witnesses said the occupants had run into an apartment.

When the officers arrived they smelled marijuana and found four people inside, according to a police report. Two of the four - Ke'Sean Smith, 18, and a 17-year-old - reportedly admitted being in the car.

A search of the apartment netted a stolen, loaded 9-millimeter pistol, two other loaded 9-millimeters and an unloaded .22-caliber rifle, plus 5.7 grams of crack, 9 grams of marijuana, two scales and a marijuana grinder.

The 17-year-old allegedly claimed the guns and is charged with three counts of unlawful gun possession, theft of the gun and auto theft. Smith is charged with auto theft.

The two other people in the apartment, Jamarius Frazier, 28, and Christopher Mason, 32, are charged with drug possession for resale.
