BARTLETT, Tenn. -- A Bartlett officer involved in a deadly crash has been in hot water before.

WREG uncovered the Bartlett Police Department disciplined Lucas Hines several times during his six years with them.

Hines was involved in a crash Sunday that left two people dead.

Danny Floyd and Michelle Sloyan died when Hines' patrol car collided with their vehicle here at the intersection of Stage Road and Bartlett Boulevard.

Wednesday, Bartlett police officers closed off the intersection so investigators could work.

"I was like, 'I can't believe it!' My dad told me, and I came to him to make sure it was true," Renee Solis, a friend of Michelle Sloyan said. "I was like, 'Whoa!' I was just shocked it was a cop that did it."

The Tennessee Highway Patrol is now leading the investigation and working to re-create the crash involving Bartlett officer Lucas Hines.

"I think it might be a good idea to have other peoples' outlook and opinions on it," Bartlett resident Deborah Cramer said.

The Bartlett police department told WREG Hines was not responding to a call at the time, and they're not sure if he ran a red light or was speeding.

"I've seen a lot of officers in different departments, not necessarily Bartlett, but in other departments going super fast on residential streets, and I have been concerned," Cramer said.

As it turns out, Hines has been in trouble with the department before.

He had been disciplined three times, once for falling below average on the number of citations and arrests made, once for not filling out time sheets for five months, and once for not filing crash reports.

His yearly reviews rank him satisfactory in most categories, but he was criticized for not using his time well, not being responsible, and having poor judgment.

Cramer said she is eager to hear the results of the crash investigation and hopes it reminds everyone, police and civilians alike, to drive carefully.

"They do drive kind of like maniacs around here. So I do think people need to be a lot more cautious than they have been," Cramer said.

Hines is on medical leave right now, but Bartlett police said he is not in the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
