Three men from Houston, Texas find themselves behind bars after allegedly robbing a Bank of America ATM in West Nashville. The crime took place just after 4 p.m. Wednesday while a service technician was working on the ATM located at 6602 Charlotte Pike, as reported first by the Metro Nashville Police Department.

A show of swift cooperation between multiple law enforcement agencies, including West Precinct officers, Violent Crimes detectives, Kingston Springs Police, Cheatham County Sheriff’s Office, and the FBI, was instrumental in the rapid capture of the suspects. The situation unfolded rapidly with, the initial crime followed by a high-stakes game of cat and mouse involving technology and good, old-fashioned police work. License plate recognition (LPR) technology was key in tracking down the suspects, leading to their eventual arrest in Cheatham County, alongside the recovery of a significant amount of cash.

The arrested individuals—identified as Jayveon Q. White, 23, Michael Austin Murphy, 24, and Trevion D. Rice, 24—are now detained at Cheatham County Jail. They face charges of resisting arrest while aggravated robbery warrants loom in Nashville. Their transfer to Nashville is pending the resolution of their current charges, as per the official statement from the authorities.

Allegedly, the three men confronted the technician under the guise of a weapon, coercing him to back away from the machine. In haste, they plundered cash containers and fled the scene in a white Toyota Camry, sporting a Tennessee license plate that was reported stolen earlier that day from Antioch. Reconvening shortly after with the broader Nashville community, a local resident engaged in a frightening confrontation after the suspects appeared behind an old bank building by her home. “She yelled at them, and they yelled back threatening her,” the Nashville.gov press release detailed. The fearful resident discharged a firearm towards their vehicle, prompting a rapid departure from the site.

Previously known to law enforcement agencies in Florida and Texas, the men declined interviews with MNPD detectives and FBI representatives. Ongoing investigations strive to unravel the full scope of the incident, as the impact of the robbery reverberates through local communities and across state lines.
