Nobody ever said animal control was an easy job.

These young cops know what they’re signing up for.

A Hendersonville Police officer was killed Monday night after being hit by a vehicle while chasing a suspect across I-65, investigators confirmed.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol identified the deceased officer as 31-year-old Hendersonville Police Officer Spencer Bristol. He leaves behind his wife, Lauren, their 3-year-old daughter, and his parents.

Troopers were alerted to a crash at 7:45 p.m. that happened on I-65 southbound by the Vietnam Vets Pkwy. entrance ramp at mile marker 95 near Rivergate Mall. The crash followed a chase that started in Hendersonville and weaved into the Goodlettsville area.

Officer Bristol was in pursuit of a vehicle being driven by 19-year-old Kevin Jordan. The teen was taken into custody shortly after the vehicle crashed. Officials say a passenger in the vehicle ran away from the scene and remains at large.

That’s when the THP says Officer Bristol chased the passenger across I-65 southbound and was hit by incoming traffic. The woman that hit the officer pulled over and seems “distraught” by what happened, troopers tell FOX 17 News. Officer Bristol was immediately rushed to Skyline Medical Center, where he passed away.

Hendersonville Police said multiple law enforcement agencies came together to help them as the investigation unfolded.

The police department is still in talks with District Attorney Ray Whitley, but announced that Jordan faces charges of felony evading, reckless endangerment and other traffic related offenses.

They wanted drugs.

Apparently, this enterprising boomer had learned that selling weed and crack cocaine to hapless Democrats was a lucrative business.

But I guess he didn’t take into account the fact that drugs also make these people 1000% more unstable and impulsive than they already are.

Pocono Record:

Three Monroe County men arrested in connection with a 2017 homicide in Wayne County were sentenced to lengthy state prison sentences by Wayne County Senior Judge Raymond L. Hamill.

Two of the three men, Darian Jemal Daniels, 26, and Lewis Ricky Tucker Jr., 28, pleaded no contest to third-degree homicide, while Kevin Jordan, 22, pleaded guilty to third-degree murder, in the murder of Joseph Stengline Sr., 62, at his home on Evergreen Drive, Lehigh Township, near Gouldsboro.

Police said Stengline was the victim of a violent home invasion on Dec. 8, 2017, when four men wearing bandanas beat and stomped him while demanding drugs. Stengline, who police said was beaten with a gun, died from his injuries on Dec. 13. His son was also beaten during the attack.

Judge Hamill on Thursday sentenced Daniels and Jordan each to 12 to 24 years in state prison. Tucker was sentenced to 15 to 30 years in state prison.
