*** PLEASE BOLO FOR WANTED SUBJECT***

Suspect is Derek Franz. He is 6’02” and 145 pounds and will be driving a Toyota Tundra.

While Erin Police was investigating a complaint of a possible domestic in Dollar General parking lot, Franz and his girlfriend was separated while the officer gathered information. Franz fled back to the truck and began to flee the scene, striking the officer and another vehicle.

A pursuit ensued down highway 149 and was later terminated due to speed and traffic. Montgomery Co. Sheriff’s office then pursued into Cheatham Co.

Franz may be circling back due to leaving the female here when he fled.

Franz has a lengthy history and Erin Police are still investigating and taking out multiple warrants to include Aggravated Assault on an Officer and Evading Arrest.
