Joshua Pentecost

UPDATE:

Friday afternoon at approximately 4:45 PM, Joshua Pentecost was arrested in an apartment on Sky View Terrace located in Springfield. He was wanted for allegedly shooting at a police officer in Springfield. (see below for more) He was arrested by Springfield Police Officers and Robertson County Sheriffs Deputies without incident. Details on charges will be provided after booking and processing for the arrests… and charges will include Attempted 1st Degree Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer for shooting at a Springfield Police Officer on 08/09/2013.

According to Detective Rickie Morris of the Springfield Police department, the suspect was trapped by officers in an apartment in the Sky View Terrace apartment complex located at 500 Skyview Terrace in Springfield.

While officers had the Sky View apartment building surrounded someone called and said Pentecost was at Mort’s Market located at 408 Memorial Blvd in Springfield (which is some miles away from the Sky View apartment building) and he wanted to turn himself in. A handful of officers went to Morts to see if the suspect was there. Meanwhile all the other officers stayed at the apartment complex, just as a precautionary measure on the off chance the call was a hoax to lure the officers away from the apartment complex so he could escape.

“Needless to say the suspect wasn’t at Morts “, Morris said. A short while later the suspect was captured in an apartment without incident at the Sky View apartment complex.

Springfield Police were assisted by TBI, US Marshals and Robertson County Sheriff’s office. There were also other jurisdictions running down leads for Springfield officers and looking for him in their cities such as Goodlettsville, Morris said.

Tracy D. Cone, Jr

Earlier on in the evening at around 9:54 PM, and believe it or not just one street over, another suspect (unrelated to above story) was observed driving a vehicle on East 21stAvenue in Springfield.  A bicycle patrol officer approached the vehicle and asked for identification, and the driver produced a driver’s license.  There was a strong odor of marijuana present.  At some point the driver rolled up the window, slammed the door shut, and drove away in a reckless manner.  As the suspect recklessly drove off he struck the officer’s bicycle.  Though the two incidents occurred just one street apart, Springfield Police Chief David Thompson says “They don’t believe there is a connection between the two crimes.”

The officer was not injured.  This vehicle was found a short time later on 23rd Avenue East unoccupied.  Illegal substances were in plain view, and when inventoried, the vehicle contained additional drugs and a camouflage semi-automatic pistol with a silencer attached to the barrel and an extended magazine.  The suspect is Tracy D. Cone, Jr., Black, Male, 6’2”, 225 lbs, DOB 9/15/1988.    Warrants are being sought for felony fleeing and attempting to elude arrest, reckless endangerment, unlawful possession of a firearm, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
