23-year-old Jordan Montalvo and Carlos Cardonell-Perez were observed in a parked van at the South Main Street AM Express gas station, which had been closed, shortly after midnight on August 14th. Sergeant Poole was patrolling when she noticed a hand reaching through the van floor and inserting a pipe into a gas port. After this, Poole approached and attempted to speak with the two individuals, later identified as Montalvo and Cardonell-Perez, to detain them.
However, Cardonell-Perez exited the passenger seat and fled towards the Blush Nail Salon. Montalvo got out of the driver’s side and was placed into custody. Officers later located Cardonell-Perez and detained him as well. During a subsequent search, the police discovered a system of drums, pumps, and batteries in the van used to siphon gas. Then, an AM Express employee arrived, checked the gas system, and advised them that 92 gallons of gas, valued at $330.82, had been stolen. Montalvo was then transported to booking and charged with criminal trespass and theft.
Jordan Montalvo was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 14th, charged with theft and criminal trespassing. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $3,000.

It’s time to ask the question that inquiring minds want to know: Is he here legally? If I were an ICE agent, I would be signed on here monitoring all this crap.
