CLARKSVILLE – The Clarksville Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating 22-year-old Christopher Tisdell of Clarksville and 19-year-old Avunt Oldham of Nashville. They have both been charged in separate incidents involving the theft of a vehicle.
Christopher Tisdell has a warrant for stealing a motorcycle on Jan. 8 and is currently out of jail on bond for previous charges pertaining to the theft of a motor vehicle that occurred in November 2022. Tisdell was charged with stealing a 2018 Mazda CX-5 on Nov. 27, 2022, and that case has been bound over to the grand jury. The owner/victim of the Mazda stated that the vehicle was left unlocked with the key fob inside. Tisdell has ties with Ismail Green, who was arrested Feb. 23 for the theft of a motor vehicle.

That case was bound over to the grand jury in December 2022.
The Clarksville Police Department continues to push the initiative to “Park Smart.”
- Lock your vehicle
- Secure your valuables (including firearms)
- Take your keys (or key fob) with you
Being a victim of a vehicle burglary or having your vehicle stolen is avoidable and preventable but it requires citizens to do their part and “Park Smart.”
