NORTH NOTES

Metro Nashvi l le Gover nment

There have been numerous occasions when people email or call me to ask about a crime in their area, such as a “robbery”. Then I try to find the incident they are asking about and I can’t because no “robberies” actually occurred. I feel I should teach a bit of nomenclature in regards to types of crime. The reason I’m doing this is to educate folks so that they use the proper terms for crimes and have a better understanding of what is occurring in their neighborhoods. This will prevent unnecessary fear espe-cially when posting on social media, or in casual conversation. It will also prevent negative views when others discuss or look into your neighborhoods. These are all common mistakes that people use:

A “Home Invasion” is when a person or persons knowingly and INTENTIONALLY enter a home that IS occupied and use force and violence to take items and/or commit assaults on the victims. A Robbery is taking something BY FORCE. In other words, there has to be a person present to be a victim of that force. You cannot use force on a home, or a car, or a

The Holiday Shopping Season brings challenges for every Police Department and ours is no exception. With this season comes increased opportunity to commit theft. While we’re out buying gifts for the people we care about, there are people trying to take those gifts. That makes “Parking Smart” and watching out for each other even more im-portant than ever. Remember to lock your valuables in the trunk, which includes your Christ-

mas purchases. Lock your car. Don’t leave your keys in the car. Lock the doors and windows of your home. If you have an alarm, set it. Watch out for each other and if you see someone out of place, say “Hello”. If you think you see someone committing a crime, or about to commit a

crime, call the Police. Let’s work together to make this the most crime free Holiday Season in memory.

Johnson, 51, was taken into custody this afternoon without incident at a residence in the 700 block of Due West Avenue by SWAT officers assigned to the Special Response Team. Investigation by De-tective Alfredo Arevalo and his colleagues at the North Precinct led to the development of Johnson as the suspected gun-man. He was subse-quently identified by a witness. Johnson is al-leged to have fatally wounded Martin, 41, in continuance of an alterca-tion between the two men the night before. Johnson was con-victed of second-degree murder in Nashville in 1982 and voluntary man-slaughter in 1994. He is being held without bond pending a hearing next week.

shed. These are objects. (One would not point a gun at a house and say, “Give me your TV’s!”) A Burglary is when you enter a dwelling without permission with the intent on com-mitting a felony, theft, or assault. (Usually, the last one is when, let’s say, an ex-boyfriend goes to ex-girlfriend’s house and forces his way in and smacks her in the face.) A Theft is taking something, without force, from a person or property.

Example of Theft vs. Robbery: A woman is walking with her handbag dangling by her side and the perpetrator runs past and snatches it out of her hand. There is no force or resistance. This is a Theft. The same scenario, only this time the woman is able to hold on to her bag. The sus-pect begins to pull while the woman pulls back. There is now force involved. This is upgraded to a Robbery. Same scenario, only this time the suspect points a gun at woman and says, “Give me the purse”. The gun is a method of force. The threat of serious bodily injury or death exists. This is also a Robbery.

So, a house cannot be “robbed”, it can be burglarized. Stealing an item from a shed or the back porch of a home does not constitute a “Home Invasion”. I hope this helps.

Also, posting crimes or criminal activity on social media does not equate to properly reporting the event. There are a few negative connotations that are associated with this type of reporting. First, it alienates the police department. We are not put in the loop and, therefore, we are unaware of the crimes. Second, is (what I call) the ‘telephone game’ syndrome. A simple theft from someone’s back porch becomes a violent home invasion. There’s mayhem, mass hysteria, cats and dogs are living to-gether…Okay, a bit silly, but you get what I mean. Third, if someone is looking to move into that neighborhood or invest in that neighborhood, all they see is this vio-lent crime that is not actually occurring and, therefore, chases them away.

So, please report crime and suspicious activity to the POLICE FIRST, then you can let your neighbors know on social media. If you have any questions about what type of crime has occurred, please email or call me.

Robber Arrested

De’Mario Fisher Acting on a citizen’s tip, Flex officers within the hour apprehended Wood-land Hills escapee De’Mar-io Fisher. Officers went to the door of the home and saw Fisher peek around a cor-ner from inside. He then retreated back into anoth-er area of the resi-dence. An officer stationed in the back reported that Fisher raised a window as he apparently contemplat-ed trying to jump and run. He ultimately obeyed commands and came out-side where he was hand-cuffed. As he was being walked away, Fisher began to resist an MNPD ser-geant and tried to reach into the back of his pants. A loaded semi-automatic pistol fell from Fisher’s pants during the struggle. He was quickly subdued. Fisher will be taken to the North Precinct be-fore being booked. Since he turned 18 today, it is anticipated that adult ar-rest warrants will be issued against Fisher charging

Fred Settles As you can see from our arrests, the closing of the Hallmark Inn has helped to reduce crime in this area as well as the com-mercial area of Trinity Hills (Talbot’s Corner).

While we have seen a decrease in the area thefts, don’t drop your vigilance. It’s important that you keep your valuables put away, your home plus vehi-cle locked, and watch for peo-ple being where they shouldn’t. If you see someone you don’t know, say “Hello”. A friendly, observant, neighbor can be a tremendous crime deterrent.

Together we will make Trinity Hills a safer and happier neigh-borhood.

We’ve seen an increase in “Theft From Vehicles” in Whites Creek. The common denomina-tor in each of these thefts has been that the vehicles were left unlocked. Whites Creek has such a safe and friendly feel, that it’s easy to let situational awareness slide. Most people who commit crimes are not industrious; they usually don’t seek out difficult or complicated tasks… That’s complicated way of saying the people who choose to commit crimes are often lazy. The more difficult you make it for someone to victimize you; the less likely you are to be victimized. It’s very

important that everyone lock their home, their out buildings, and lock their vehicles. We shouldn’t have to, and in a per-fect world we wouldn’t, but one of the best techniques deterring crime is making it difficult to commit the crime. The person feeling tempted to commit the crime will often decide that it’s too much work and move on, often with the potential victim ever knowing that someone had considered committing a crime against them. Please secure you valuables, please lock your doors, and please watch out for each other. Together we can keep Whites

Robber Arrested

Cameron Morton Accused conven-ience store serial robber Cameron Morton surren-dered at the North Pre-cinct today and is now jailed in lieu of $150,000 bond. Morton, 19, had apparently gone to his hometown of Memphis before returning here. Working from infor-mation provided through a Crime Stoppers tip, a task force of detectives Friday night identified Morton as the suspected

gunman in a series of con-venience market armed robberies last week in var-ious parts of Nashville. Morton is charged with two counts of aggra-vated robbery, one count of attempted aggravated robbery, and one count of aggravated assault stem-ming from: the robbery of Daily’s

Shell, 2112 Charlotte Avenue, on October 7;

the robbery of Mapco, 2101 Murfreesboro Pike, on October 8; and

the attempted robbery of Kwik Sak, 2804 West End Avenue, on October 9.

Additional charges are expected.

A search warrant was executed late Friday night at Morton’s dorm room in Boyd Hall on the TSU campus with the as-sistance of TSU Po-lice. Morton was not pre-sent.
