Dangerous and desperate. That’s the way Wilson County law officers describe a chase this past weekend involving a teenage car thief believed to be involved a crime wave in Lebanon and Mt. Juliet.

Wilson County law officers have been besieged with kids in Nashville stealing cars and coming to commit crimes. It happened again this weekend.

The dash cam is from 1:27 a.m. Saturday morning. That’s when deputy Jason Denson spied a suspicious car in a church parking lot.

“He sees a car, involved in motor vehicle thefts and burgs in Lebanon and Mt. Juliet,” Lt. Scott Moore said.

As the deputy turned to investigate, the black Subaru took off.

“Down Central Pike, speeds 80-100 no shoulder, dangerous roads,” said Lt. Moore.

The chase entered Mt. Juliet, where it took a very dangerous turn.

Dash cam reveals the driver speeding through an express gas station on Mt. Juliet Road, almost slamming into the gas pumps.

The crazy chase continued out of the gas station and onto I-40 West.

Eight minutes after the chase began, the teenage driver turns into Woodhaven Condos off Dodson Chapel Road.

The teen bailed from the car as it rolled into that closed garage door. The teen was dragged by his own get-a-way car, which smashes through the garage with a car parked inside.

Metro police assisted with a perimeter search, but the teen managed to escape.
