Franklin Police arrested a Brentwood man over the weekend on a felony charge stemming from a video taken March 4.

Tahj Turnley, 19, was charged Saturday with reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, according to a release from the Franklin Police Department.

After a Cars and Coffee event on March 4 in the Thoroughbred 20 Theatre parking lot, a video that was posted on social media shows Turnley losing control of his vehicle while showing off for a crowd as he was leaving the site, authorities say.

"Turnley is seen driving with total disregard for the safety of bystanders, many of whom had to take evasive action to avoid being run over. The vehicle Turnley was driving can be seen here, leaving the roadway and skidding onto the grass where a crowd had gathered," the release says.

Lt. Charles Warner said an officer was assigned to investigate the incident after the video was reported to the police department. That's why it took several weeks to identify Turnley as a suspect, he said.

Franklin police used the video to help identify Turnley.

Turnley is free on the $5,500 bond set by the magistrate judge. He's due in court May 4 at 1 p.m.
