On October 10th, officers responded to Erica Brooks’s residence regarding an alleged carjacking. Brooks states that 33-year-old Porsha Brown assaulted her in front of her house and stole her 2016 Kia Optima with her phone inside. Brooks’ daughter stated she was tracking the phone and that Brooks’ boyfriend, Leonard Rucker, may have been involved. Her daughter told officers that the phone was pinging around the perimeter of TSU campus. Officers observed a black Cadillac SUV around the pinging location, ran the license plate, and it returned to be registered to Rucker. Officers conducted an investigative stop and spoke with Rucker, who stated that he had Brooks’ phone in his vehicle. Rucker told officers he was at his uncle’s house when Porsha Brown told him she liked his car, and then he let her drive it around. Rucker states that Brooks pulled up to their location and became irate before getting into a scuffle with Brown, and during the incident, Brown got into Brooks’ car and drove away.

Officers were directed to Rucker’s uncle’s house and were able to locate Brown. Brown told officers she was driving around with Rucker before they arrived at his house, where Brooks came outside screaming at her, so she locked the car door. Brown stated Rucker must have unlocked the car door because Brooks opened the door and hit her in the face twice before walking to the Kia Optima, telling Brown, “I got something for you.” Then, Brown stated she was afraid that Brooks might have a gun or pepper spray, so she followed her to the car, pushed her out of the way, got in, and drove away. She stated she felt like she was getting jumped. Brown directed officers to where she left Brooks’ vehicle. Officers confirmed the vehicle belonged to Brooks and took Brown into custody. Brooks’ driver’s license was in Brown’s purse, and she told officers she kept the license for an address so she could return the vehicle. Brooks confirmed that Brown was the person who stole her car and that her purse was still missing. When officers asked Brown about the purse, she initially lied, stating she did not know, but eventually told officers where the purse was after changing her statement three times.

Sebastian Shaw

29-year-old Hudson Kelley was found at the scene of an accident where he crashed a 2012 Hyundai Elantra into another car and then a concrete barrier. Police arrived at the accident scene on I-40 West near mile marker 207 and spoke to the witness whose car Hudson hit. The witness stated that Hudson was swerving before he hit their car. Police found a Whiteclaw can in the passenger side of Hudson’s vehicle while medics were checking him out. Hudson was very talkative, smelled of alcohol, and was unsteady.

When police spoke to him about the Whiteclaw, they reported that Hudson became quiet and refused to answer questions. He stated he was coming home from work with his boss, but then police overheard him tell a friend that he was coming from a bowling alley. Police reported that Hudson was experiencing mood swings where he cried, was placed into custody, would yell and cuss at the officer, and would later apologize. Hudson kept repeating that he had never been in an accident before and asked why he was driving his brother’s car.

As police told him that he was being placed under arrest for DUI, he said that he could not be due to him not owning a car or him driving; he just said that he was going home. After he refused to perform sobriety tests, he asked if he could smoke a cigarette, but police had just observed him smoking three. He said he had not smoked for years, yet just smoked moments earlier. Hudson was confused about which car was his and which family member was picking him up. He was placed into custody after he refused to give a blood or breath sample.
