Three Suspects Arrested Following Pursuit in South Nashville Thursday

Outstanding work by South Precinct officers this morning during a pursuit led to the arrest of three suspects seen stealing items off porches, armed with long guns, near Bart Drive. Officers received a call advising that three men in a black Dodge Charger were following a FedEx truck and taking packages off porches in the area.

Officers located the vehicle nearby and attempted to stop it, but the Charger fled.

During the pursuit, the front seat passenger, Paw Lay, 23, bailed from the car and was apprehended after a brief foot pursuit. Sho Win, 23, and Man Rai, 31, were taken into custody once the Charger was stopped at the intersection of Margo Lane and Willard Drive.

An air rifle, which looked like a shotgun, along with packages from addresses in the area were found inside the Charger. A loaded shotgun was found along the flightpath of the Charger after it was thrown from the passenger side window during the pursuit into the front yard of a home where small children lived.

Win, the driver, was charged with felony evading arrest and theft of property.

Lay was charged with misdemeanor evading arrest, possession of a firearm during a dangerous felony, reckless endangerment, and theft of property.

Rai was cited for theft of property.
