Carrie Brannock lies to police after picking up person involved in car crash

44-year-old Carrie Brannock picked up an unidentified individual involved in a property damage-vehicle crash on I-24 West on the afternoon of February 26th. When officers arrived, they observed a white vehicle in the wood line near another car that was on fire and were informed that one of the drivers had left the scene on foot, wearing dark clothing. Officers began to search for the driver when they noticed a dark gray four-door Honda parked on the eastbound right shoulder of I-24. The Honda was occupied by a white, heavy-set female with dark hair, later identified as Brannock, in the driver’s seat and a male wearing a black hoodie in the back seat. Officers attempted to slow traffic down to approach the vehicle, but the Honda drove off. After NFD extinguished the vehicle fire, detectives ran the VIN, which returned to a gold Ford Explorer registered to Brannock. When officers called to inform Brannock about her car being in a crash, they reported that she seemed unphased. Brannock told officers her vehicle had broken down around 11 a.m. and that she abandoned it “on I-24 somewhere.” Officers asked Brannock to meet them at the Shell Gas station on Exit 11 to give her the information she needed for the crash report. Brannock arrived at the location driving the gray Honda that left the scene earlier. Brannock also matched the driver’s description and was wearing a black Hoodie. Officers then noticed a strong odor of marijuana as Brannock exited her vehicle for questioning. When Brannock was asked about picking up the other driver from the scene, she started licking her lips and twirling her thumbs, saying she did not. Due to the marijuana stench, there was probable cause for officers to search Brannock’s vehicle. Officers then located muddy footprints on the left rear passenger side floorboard, twigs, and mud behind the driver’s seat. Officers asked Brannock again if she had picked the person up from the crash, and she responded that she had no clue. Brannock was taken into custody for false report.

Bidemi Ajobiewe threatens Simmons Bank, says he’s “coming to the bank with a rifle”

45-year-old Bidemi Ajobiewe was found giving a fake alias to employees Zachary Seibold and Tyrone Johnson of Simmons Bank on February 6th 2023. He placed a large amount of money in the account at separate times, including deposits of $102,000 and $128,000 placed under the name “Markus Logan,” which were quickly frozen for fraud. After Ajobiewe found out his accounts were frozen, he contacted customer service and told them to tell employees Zach and Tyrone that he was going to “blow the bank up” and that he was “Coming to the bank with a rifle, and I’m going to kill all the staff at the branch.” He said that they were “going to feel all the pain that I’m feeling.” This threat led to the bank closing business for the day. Later, the same day, Ajobiewe sent Zach a direct message telling him, “I want you to know I’m coming to the bank with a rifle. It’s either you get killed, or I get killed today.” But before Ajobiewe could take action, the Simmons Bank fraud investigation unit determined Ajobiewe’s real identity, which led to Seibold and Johnson identifying Ajobiewe. Ajobiewe was taken into custody and charged with assault and false report.

Damon Suiter threatens wife through text numerous times, “I’ll be there in 65 minutes to kill everyone inside that building.”

25-year-old Damon C. Suiter was booked on November 18th for stalking his estranged wife, Cassie Suiter. In January, Cassie reached out to the police about her husband repeatedly texting and calling her with threats to take her life and others. Cassie explained that she blocked Damon’s phone number, but he continued to call from different numbers. Officers reviewed a text message from Damon stating, “Cassie, I swear to God I’ll attack you too if you think this is a joke. I’m almost to my pistol, then it’s you.” He also stated, “I’ll be there in 65 minutes to kill everyone inside that building.” The officers reviewed weeks of threatening text messages from Damon. When officers spoke to Damon over the phone, he told them that he was wearing body armor and had a gun. He advised that he would shoot the police officers in the back when he got to the Mike’s Ice Cream Shop. Officers recorded the phone call to document the statements, and Cassie recognized Damon’s voice to confirm that he was the one speaking. The statements that Damon made caused Metro officers to enact safety precautions at the ice cream shop caused Clarksville PD to respond to his home to gather information, and caused THP to keep a lookout for his vehicle as he stated he was driving from Clarksville to Nashville to commit the shooting.
