From Metro Nashville Police Department
Coordinated police work led to the overnight arrest of Travon Webb, 18, after a residential burglary in the 1700 block of 15th Avenue South.
Midtown Hills Precinct officers quickly responded to the break-in Tuesday night in which two male suspects entered a side door of the victim’s home, took keys to a black Lexus SUV, and drove off in the vehicle. Officers issued a description of the suspects and stolen SUV. East Precinct Officer Dillon Hunt spotted the Lexus around 11:30 p.m. in the Harmony Way area. Officer Hunt attempted to stop the SUV but the driver, later identified as Webb, fled at a high rate of speed onto East Trinity Lane. After the Lexus struck a guardrail while attempting to enter Ellington Parkway South, Webb and two passengers fled on foot. Webb was taken into custody while the other two eluded capture.
Webb is charged with aggravated burglary, theft of a vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, reckless driving and driving without a license. He is jailed in lieu of $46,500 bond. At the time of his arrest, Webb was free on $12,500 bond after his November 7th arrest for motor vehicle theft. In that case, keys to a Dodge Durango were stolen from a short term rental on Elmhurst Avenue. Webb fled from the Durango after officers located the vehicle in the area of Tremont Avenue and 15th Avenue South.
