Two men have been taken into custody after an alleged armed robbery at a Murfreesboro Dollar General store, leading officers on a high-speed chase before they were apprehended. The incident occurred around 3:10 p.m. Tuesday when the suspects reportedly robbed the store located on Halls Hill Pike at gunpoint, according to WSMV.

The drama unfolded as local law enforcement spotted the alleged culprits driving away in a white older model Chevrolet Impala, initiating a traffic stop at the intersection of Northfield Boulevard and Memorial Boulevard, but instead of surrendering the driver blasted away from the scene leading to a minor collision on Saddlebrook Drive, before their vehicle hit a dead end on Winthrone Drive, as reported by WKRN.
The two suspects then fled on foot, but their bid for freedom was short-lived. One was nabbed nearby while the second was caught on Freedom Court, as detailed by FOX17. Murfreesboro Police have since confirmed that both are facing charges of armed robbery and evading arrest, marking a swift conclusion to a tense and potentially dangerous situation.
