2 people arrested after police find stolen trailer, drugs in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee

MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WKRN) — Two people from Nashville were arrested after members of the Mt. Juliet Police Department allegedly found them in possession of a stolen trailer as well as various drugs.

Authorities said the two suspects drove to Mount Juliet overnight with a U-Haul trailer that was stolen from the city on May 24.

Officials say Mt. Juliet's Guardian Shield license plate recognition program alerted officers, who quickly intercepted the two men on Lebanon Road near Nonaville Road. In addition to the trailer, the suspects allegedly had methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana in their possession.

Police said a 39-year-old woman was arrested on a full extradition warrant from the Tennessee Department of Corrections for parole violation, a Nashville warrant for probation violation and unlawful possession of drug. Meanwhile, a 40-year-old man was charged with burglary and illegal drug possession.

“MJ officers continue to work hard to ensure criminals do not succeed in our community,” the police department posted on social media on Sunday, June 2.

No additional details have been released about the overnight incident, including the identities of those arrested.
