Prank Door Knocking Escalates to Armed Encounter

Mt. Juliet, Tenn. – A man was arrested overnight after following and pointing a handgun at teens who were knocking on residents’ doors as a prank. On Thursday, October 3, 2019 around 9:35 p.m., multiple officers responded to the area of Sydney Terrace near Brisbane Drive to handle an armed person call. They arrived to find numerous individuals standing in the roadway.

Further investigation revealed that a group of teens were knocking loudly on many doors and running away. One of the residents, 43-year-old Jimmy Robinson, Jr., got into his vehicle and began to look for the vehicle the teens were traveling in.
