Deven Buckner assaults officers in the midst of a mental breakdown

26-year-old Deven Buckner was harassing people at Mapco on Smith Springs Road on December 6th. Buckner was rambling and making nonsensical statements when officers arrived and could not answer basic questions. Officers attempted to take Buckner to his home on Waterford Way with the help of an individual who knows his family, but no one was present at the residence when they got there. They were able to contact Buckner’s mom via phone to inform her of what was going on, and she advised them that he appeared to be going through a mental health crisis. The crisis counselor evaluated him and determined that he needed to be “6404’d” and taken to the hospital. Buckner became irate when they told him he was going to the hospital, punching the window in the back of the patrol car twice. Officers stopped at Smith Springs to take the individual who knew Buckner’s family home and attempted to handcuff Buckner when they got to the parking lot, but he refused to cooperate. Buckner pulled his arms away from the officers and pushed his way through them to get out of the back seat, and then they grabbed him, guided him towards the grassy area, as he continued to resist, and eventually took him down to detain him. Officers had to force him back into the patrol car, and he was taken into custody for assaulting an officer and resisting arrest.

Trevell James charged after robbery and shoot-out with victim & friend

19-year-old Trevell James was booked this week on outstanding warrants for felony aggravated robbery, drug possession, and theft during two incidents on December 27. Police say he entered a business and asked to use the restroom. He then went to the employee locker room, took the jacket of Adam Peler, which contained the keys to his vehicle, and walked out the front door wearing the jacket. On that same day, Trevel James and Alfred Rodriguez attempted to rob Shandarie Barrett of $2,000, which he had been sent to the bank to get. When he was unable to withdraw the money and returned to his residence, he was pistol-whipped and robbed of his phone and passport.

James and Rodrigues then fled the location, and the victim and his friend, Everald Nelson, pursued them throughout South Nashville. Nelson exchanged gunfire with the suspects in the parking lot of a Waffle House. The two suspects then abandoned their car and fled the scene. Inside the abandoned vehicle, officers found four bags of marijuana, totaling one pound in weight. Warrants were issued for their arrest, and James was booked on those this week.
