23-year-old Andre Gentry, an employee of New Life Church, was seen in a vehicle with Amari Quarles, who was recklessly driving on Tiny Town Road on April 10th. Quarles was observed speeding down Tiny Town Road and then turning onto Pembroke Road, where he continued to speed. This prompted law enforcement to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle. Deputies pursued the car with their emergency lights and sirens activated. However, the vehicle continued to speed off for two minutes before stopping at the end of Arvin Drive.
When the car came to a stop, both Quarles and Gentry exited the vehicle and ran into the woods. Another deputy was able to capture Gentry nearby. Deputies searched the car and found two handguns, 190.49 grams of marijuana, scales, and small baggies. One of the handguns inside the vehicle was reported stolen in Clarksville. A search of Andre Gentry’s person yielded another 8.4 grams of weed. Andre Gentry was taken into custody and charged with evading arrest, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, possession of marijuana, theft of property, and unlawful drug paraphernalia.
