CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Goodlettsville woman was arrested after she reportedly used her own child as a shield while carjacking people in Clarksville.
According to the Clarksville Police Department, officers responded to Minit Mart in the 2600 block of Trenton Road shortly before 4:45 p.m. after a 51-year-old woman reported that, while she was pumping gas, she was approached by another woman, who pointed a gun at her and stole her Nissan Juke.
Then, just after 5:15 p.m., the department said it received a shots fired call from the area around Warfield Boulevard and Ted Crozier Sr. Boulevard.
When police arrived at the scene, a victim told them a woman, who used her 5-year-old child as a shield, fired a shot; the victim ran; and the woman stole his black Mercedez Benz.
Officials said the Nissan Juke that was stolen from the Minit Mart was recovered in the parking lot of the Jubilee House on Warfield.
In addition, Clarksville Police reportedly received information from Cheatham County that the Mercedez Benz was recovered and the woman stole a silver Ford F-150, which was involved in a crash on Interstate 24 near mile marker 16.
