Police said Tai Harrell stole a four-door, silver Toyota Tundra with a TN Temp tag (3 days old) on the truck, which also has tinted windows. There was a gun inside the truck at the time, meaning Harrell may be armed. He should be considered armed and dangerous.

When he escaped he was barefoot and wearing a black and white jumpsuit with the letters RCJDC on it. He may have a puncture wound on his foot.

Call 911 if spotted. Anyone with information can contact Detective Bartel at 931-648-0656 ext. 5144, the Tipsline at 931-645-8477, or submit a tip anonymously at P3tips.com/591.
