On December 27, 2011, a little after midnight, Joseph Demille, 29, of Summerhaven Rd,
called 911 about three teenagers that appeared to be scoping out houses and attempting
to break into vehicles on Lamont Court.
The initial attention-getter for the Demille was the activation of the security light

vehicle. He called 911, but the men departed his yard prior to Police arrival.
He followed the men so he could update Police on their location. While waiting

residents on Lamont Court. Joseph Demille took action and detained the three men

change to buy sodas from a nearby store. The three teenagers specifically
chose this particular neighborhood because there would be more loose change
than in other neighborhoods in the area. Their efforts yielded a little
over $5 in change.

ADDITONAL INFORMATION
There was another vehicle which was not directly involved in the crash but directly
affected by the end result of the single vehicle crash. A Honda van driven by
a 41 year old female was traveling eastbound when the Honda Hybrid crossed in
front of her van before it crashed. After the crash took place, live power

NEWS RELEASE
On August 28, 2011, around 9 am, a single vehicle crash sent three to the hospital.
According to witness accounts, a 2005 Honda Hybrid driven by a 23 year old man
and a red vehicle with an unknown driver appeared to be drag racing eastbound
on the 1000 Block Tiny Town Rd. The Honda was in the left lane and the red
vehicle was in the right lane. The red car drifted into the Honda’s Lane
as they entered a curve; it does not appear as though contact occurred between
the vehicles. The Honda swerved away from the vehicle, lost control, left the
roadway, rotated, and the driver side of the vehicle hit an electrical pole.
The pole was ripped out of the ground and the Honda flipped and came to rest
on its roof on top of the pole. The 23 year old driver, 24 year old male
passenger (Honda), and 2 year old female child had to be extricated from
the vehicle. Emergency responders were able to quickly extricate the two
adults, but it took almost an hour to safely remove the child. Additionally,
the child was restrained in the child safety seat and was the child of
the driver.
The 23 old driver was taken by Lifeflight to Vanderbilt with back and wrist pain.
The 2 year old female was alert and conscious with some abrasions and was
transported by Lifeflight to Vanderbilt for further evaluation. The 24
year old passenger was taken by ambulance with what appeared to be non-critical
injuries.
The red vehicle and the unknown driver (gender unknown) left the scene.
The vehicle was a flat red color and may have been a Mazda, possibly 90s model.
There was a decal on the rear of vehicle which said “Zoom, Zoom”.
Police are looking for any other witnesses that saw the crash. Also, we would
like to talk to the driver of the red vehicle as part of our investigation.
Names will be released after notification of family.
The investigation is ongoing. The lead investigator is Officer Melissa Spielhagen.
Anyone with information can call 931-645-8477.

HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS
The holiday season is upon us and shoppers will be flocking to the shopping areas in force.
The holiday season is meant to be time of celebration and joy, but unfortunately it is
also offers many opportunities for criminal activities. Even though Clarksville Police
will have additional personnel working throughout the holidays, there are some personal
actions you can take to help enhance your safety.
AWARENESS, AWARENESS, AWARENESS! Know what is going on around you. There are large
crowds which flood to the shopping areas looking for the “Ultimate Bargain”. Over
the years, there have been many incidents of injuries occurring in the parking lots
and in the stores. Pay close attention to the mood of the crowd and surroundings.
The desire to get a good deal has driven crowds to become unruly and people will
act in an irrational manner. If the crowd gets out of hand, for your personal
safety, it may be better to walk away.
Dress casually and comfortably. Pay special attention to your wallets and purses.
Keep the wallet in your front pant or jacket pocket. Purses should be kept close
to your body and not dangling. If you must take a purse, make it a harness type
that is worn over your body and can be covered with a jacket. Do not leave your purses
unattended at any time. Also, try to avoid hanging purses on hooks or door handles
in the restrooms. It may actually be better if you leave the purse at home and carry
a wallet in your front pocket.
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Use credit or debit cards and checks whenever
possible. Make sure only one credit slip is printed with your charge card and, carbons
if used, are returned. Also, since many stores use electronic withdrawal for checks,
safeguard the returned check since there is valuable data on it. Try to keep cash
and credit cards in separate pockets.
Park in well-lit areas near entrances or near shopping cart return areas so you can
return the shopping cart without going across the parking lot. Place previously purchased
bags and packages in the trunk or out of sight. Visually scan the area around you
before exiting the vehicle and as you head toward the entrance. When returning to the
vehicle, have your keys in hand, look inside the vehicle before entering, lock the doors
once inside, and then leave.
Don’t overburden yourself with too many bags or packages, especially if you need to enter
darkened parking lots or areas. If you return to your vehicle to drop off packages and
plan on returning to the store, it might be a good idea to move your vehicle to another
location in the parking lot. No one wants to give up that valued parking slot, but
it would be better to move the vehicle than to provide an opportunity to a dishonest
person.
Keep your vehicles locked at all times. Burglars are looking for the easy targets
will routinely walk through residential areas or businesses looking for unlocked vehicles.
They don’t want to be seen or heard.
Shop with someone else. There is safety in numbers and shoppers are less vulnerable when
shopping in pairs.
Be aware of possible holiday scammers that go door-to-door pretending to collect for
charitable organizations, but in reality, are collecting money for themselves.
Ask the person for identification and the manner the money will be used.
An alternative is to donate to an organization known to you.
Place additional emphasis on home security. Keep doors and windows locked.
Turn security alarms on; they don’t do any good turned off.
If out for the evening or traveling, make every effort to create an appearance that
someone is home-- leave lights, TV, or radio on. You can also utilize timers to
activate electronic equipment when you’re away.
Holiday travelers should ensure mail and paper deliveries are halted. Also,
if possible, have a friend or neighbor periodically park in your driveway to
foster the appearance of activity around the house.
Presents should not be readily visible to a passerby. Do not advertise the
holiday haul. Break down boxes which items such as TVs, stereos, etc .come in.
Holidays are also a good time to update or create a home inventory. It is also
a good idea to photo and video items.

NEWS RELEASE
A 63 old grandmother was charged with FALSE REPORT after claiming to be robbed when
it was actually a case of “insufficient funds” by the man purchasing drugs.
On December 2, 2011, 12:50 pm, Police were called to 966 Oakdale Dr for a theft in
progress which, prior to officers arrival, escalated to a Robbery.
When officers arrived on scene, they were told a man came to the house looking for
a man that lived at the residence. The man was allowed to enter the house.
Upon entry the man supposedly grabbed a bottle of prescription drugs, attempted to
leave, was blocked by two women in the house, tried to push past them, pulled a
handgun, and threatened to shoot up the house if Police were called.
The story changed several times and the truth quickly came to light as Officer
Justin Bailey investigated the alleged robbery. First of all, a robbery never
took place. The 63 year old woman, BESSIE ANN BRYANT was short on money and
asked a family member to find someone to purchase her prescription drugs.
A man was located to conduct the transaction and came to the house.
After some bartering, a purchase price of $400 was agreed on for 90 Loritabs.
But the buyer only had $300 in his possession. Since he did not have the $400,
he gave her $300 and was going to leave the handgun as collateral until he
could return with the other $100. At first, the transaction was agreed to,
but that decision was quickly reversed because of the fear the gun may be stolen.
Bryant attempted to stop the buyer because he was short of money, but the man
took the pills, his gun, and left. He never pointed the handgun at Bryant
and left the $300. After the man left, the robbery story was concocted and
Police were called.
BESSIE ANN BRYANT Photo (w/f, dob: 1/24/48, Given Address: 966 Oakdale Drive) was taken
in custody and charged with FALSE REPORT, BOND: $2500.
Officers spent over 4 hours investigating the alleged ROBBERY.
