CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – A Clarksville neighborhood worked together with the Clarksville police to assist in a recent arrest.
Shomari Moody, 18, was out on bond after being arrested last week for vehicle burglary, theft, simple possession, and unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon.
The subdivisions off of Fuji Ln, Ridgepole Dr. and Sharpie Dr. were hit hard with at least 11 vehicle burglaries during the overnight hours between July 10 and 11. They had no intent of being victimized again.
Neighbors saw two men walking in the area unsuccessfully attempt to enter locked vehicles on Core Dr. Police were called about the suspicious activity.
The neighborhood went on high alert and began to notify each other in person and on social media. They worked together to keep their fellow residents apprised of the situation.
When officers arrived and located the two men, they took off running from police. The juvenile was caught quickly. Shomari Moody was tackled by a neighborhood man while running through a yard.
Moody was booked into Montgomery County jail and charged with criminal attempt burglary, motor vehicle theft from a previous incident of a stolen vehicle from Ringgold Rd on June 25, and evading arrest. His bond is set at $130,000. The 17-year-old juvenile was cited with criminal attempt burglary and released to an adult.
