NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man wanted for a carjacking incident in East Nashville is behind bars after attacking liquor store employees during a shoplifting attempt, officials said.
On Sunday, May 25, officers were called to Murfreesboro Pike Wine and Spirits after receiving reports of an armed man fighting with store employees.
