37-year-old Mugisha Solomon was involved in a multi-vehicle accident on South 6th Street late August 2nd. Responding officers found Solomon’s vehicle abandoned and then spoke with the owners of the other two vehicles. A witness told officers that Solomon came speeding down the street before crashing into the two cars, one of which was totaled. The witness explained that Solomon took off to his James A. Cayce Homes residence and stayed inside. They then provided officers with Solomon’s ID, adding that she saw it when Solomon left the scene.
The police later located Solomon’s phone in his vehicle, which had a text stating his name. After learning Solomon’s name and address, they attempted to contact him. However, only his mother came to the door, telling officers he was not there. Local juveniles told officers that they watched Solomon run from the crash to the address on his ID. A warrant was then issued for Solomon’s arrest. Solomon was taken into custody for reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving while license revoked on August 5th.
Mugisha Solomon was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 5th, charged with reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving on a revoked license second offense. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $5,000.
