(Mt. Juliet, TN) A car stolen from Murfreesboro ended-up crashing through the side of a home on Central Pike near Pleasant Grove Road in Mt. Juliet. The vehicle was being pursued by Mt. Juliet police. The driver is 47-year old Glen Adams of Old Hickory. He was is booked in the Wilson County Jail.
It seems as if Mt. Juliet police attempted to make a traffic stop, but when the driver allegedly would not stop - they ran the tags through the department's system. That's when officers learned that the Toyota SUV was stolen and the pursuit re-started.
The driver eventually lost control of the vehicle and slammed into a home, which ironically is owned by a Wilson County Sheriff's deputy, but no one lives there at this time.
