During the stop, police identified the driver as Kevin Thomas, who was confirmed to be wanted by authorities in Nashville on charges of aggravated assault . Meanwhile, the passenger, identified as Alexis Jones, was carrying marijuana and MDMA in her purse. Further checks revealed she was also wanted in Robertson County for failure to appear in court, and had additional warrants pending in Clarksville .
Both Thomas and Jones were taken into custody and transported to the Robertson County Detention Center in Springfield, Tennessee . Jones is being held there under a $20,000 bond.
