Officer Jovanovic is getting some serious props at Hendersonville roll call after chasing down and helping arrest two armed suspects following a reported shooting. He went after them on foot at the scene and helped take both into custody, earning a public shoutout for his speed and persistence in closing in on the suspects.
Department Describes Fast Foot Chase And Quiet Details
In a Facebook post, the Hendersonville Police Department said officers responded Friday to a reported shooting and that Officer Jovanovic located and arrested two armed suspects after a foot pursuit. The department called him "an invaluable addition to our team" and said he continues to "excel in his performance of duty to the citizens and community of Hendersonville." The post does not name the suspects or spell out any specific charges.
Part Of A Familiar Middle Tennessee Playbook
Local television outlets regularly highlight short pursuits and arrests across Middle Tennessee, the kind of quick street-level responses Hendersonville officers are known for. NewsChannel 5 has covered a different case where Hendersonville officers helped track down an armed suspect, and WSMV has reported on other arrests that ended after brief foot chases. Those stories show the department’s day-to-day patrol and arrest work, but they do not describe the same incident that earned Jovanovic his latest praise.
The city’s official website lists contact details and tip resources for the Hendersonville Police Department, and residents with information about the shooting or the arrests can use those channels or Crime Stoppers to reach investigators. For now, the department’s Facebook post remains the main public account of Friday’s recognition, including the roll call shoutout, with no immediate press release adding further operational details at the time it was posted.
