20-year-old Destiny Frierson was observed speeding near Trinity Lane on July 21st. When she approached a red light, two rear passengers were hanging outside the window, recording on their phones. When the light turned green, officers attempted to catch up with her. As officers did this, they paced her, going around 70 mph, and conducted a traffic stop. While Frierson was stopping, they noticed a lot of movement inside her vehicle, appearing as if someone had switched seats with the driver. Officers approached the car and noticed a 1-year-old child sitting in the backseat without a car seat or being buckled. Officers also noticed the child was sitting on the lap of another occupant. Then, the police asked Frierson if she had switched seats with anyone. Frierson looked in the backseat and said, “Ask them,” but no one responded. When asked for her driver’s license, she told police she did not have one nor has she ever had one. Further investigation revealed that her license was suspended. Frierson was then taken into custody for child neglect and driving with a suspended license.
Destiny Frierson was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 21st, charged with driving on a suspended license and child neglect. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $7,500.
