A man is facing multiple charges following a fight with another motorist that created “a frightening scenario” on a street in Mt. Juliet on Sunday. Officers responded after receiving reports about a man chasing another man with a gun. When authorities arrived at the scene, they quickly apprehended a man and recovered a handgun. The preliminary investigation revealed the suspect and the victim initially got into a dispute while driving. Moments later, their paths crossed again when the victim was making a delivery along Ponty Pool Drive. During that encounter, the suspect allegedly brandished a firearm and chased the victim down the street.

Clarksville is working on turning its wastewater into biodegradable pellets while also expanding the city’s water storage. The city is progressing on a nearly $300 million project that would add a 36-million gallon water treatment plant and thermal drying technology to the area. The dryers would turn Clarksville’s wastewater into something useful — and much less smelly. The city hopes to sell the pellets to local farmers for use on their land.
The Tennessee Supreme Court suspended a Montgomery County attorney for practicing law with a suspended license. In January 2020, Clarksville attorney Colleen Ann Hyder did not pay her professional privilege tax and continued representing clients which is against Tennessee law. Licensed attorneys are required to pay this tax to maintain their license, and if disregarded, the attorney must be immediately suspended. She faced ethics charges by Tennessee’s Board of Professional Responsibility which led to a board hearing, ruling that Ms. Hyder could not practice law when her license was suspended. The board then suggested the Tennessee Supreme Court issue her a public admonition.
