Another Example of Teamwork between Officers and Citizens
Clarksville, TN – Yesterday, Thursday, November 17th, 2016 at 4:25pm, witnesses at the Speedway Gas Station at 320 Providence Boulevard called E911 when they observed a white male fire his handgun four to five times in the parking lot. The witnesses said he fled on foot.
After a District 2 Clarksville Police Department Officer saw a vehicle speed off from the gas station, he spoke with the occupants, and they told him that the shooter shot at them.
One of the witnesses followed the suspect to the area of B Street and Locust Street and advised Officers that the male had not come out of the woods.
Soon after, Officers made contact with a white male matching the description given. He was identified as Joseph Monteleone. It was later confirmed that he was the shooter.
CPD K9 Officer Joe Scruggs and his Police Service Dog (PSD) did an article search in the woods where the suspect was detained and located a black hat and a revolver with five casings recovered that had all been fired.
24-year-old Joseph Monteleone from Bumpus Mills, TN was booked into Montgomery County Jail on the charges of Aggravated Assault and Reckless Endangerment. Other charges are pending. The lead investigator is Detective Brittany Matos.
Due to the teamwork between the citizens of Clarksville, District 2 Patrol Officers, our K9 Officer, and District 2 Criminal Investigations; Monteleone was taken off the streets soon after the incident occurred.
Great job to all involved! We appreciate the assistance from our teammates- the citizens of Clarksville.
