Allowing 17-year-old sheboons to drive is objectively insane.

Jayona Brown, the teenager charged in a deadly crash that killed a Metro police officer, is now facing charges in the adult court system.

She faces several charges, including vehicular homicide, in the death of 28-year-old Officer John Anderson. Metro police say she was booked into jail Monday night.

Anderson was killed in an early-morning fiery crash on the Fourth of July. At the time of the crash, Brown was 17 years old. She has since turned 18.

A transfer hearing for Brown was held in early February. During the hearing, the teen told Judge Sheila Calloway, “I’ll do everything in my power to keep me out of trouble. I want to go to school. I want to go to college… I want to get close to my family. My intention is not to get into any more trouble.”

Judge Calloway signed the order to transfer Brown into the adult system on March 23. Her bond was set at $100,000.

There’s no photo or description of the suspect, but she is named “Jayona Brown.”

I mean, come on.

Put that name into Faceberg and it’s baboonettes from top to bottom.

A Tennessee officer was killed in a fiery crash early Thursday morning when a 17-year-old driver ran into his police car, authorities said.

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department announced the death of officer John Anderson, 28, in a tweet.

“It was extreme sadness that the MNPD confirms the on-duty death of Central Precinct Officer John Anderson,” the department wrote on Twitter Thursday morning.

The crash happened at around 3 a.m. when a Ford Fusion driven by 17-year-old Jayona Brown went through a flashing red light and struck Anderson’s car “very, very hard” in the intersection, police spokesman Don Aaron said at a news conference.

The force of the crash caused Anderson’s car to spin, slam into a utility pole and catch fire, he said. Anderson, a four-year veteran with the department, died at the scene.

Brown was hospitalized with injuries that are considering not life threatening. An 18-year-old passenger in her car was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, Aaron said.
