Armed UFO watcher chases down driver

Just as he was enjoying an afternoon of watching UFOs in the sky, a man was forced to jump in his car with a loaded shotgun Monday and chase down a stranger in self-defense.

At least that is the story that a 20-year-old Murfreesboro man told officers after being arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment and aggravated assault near the intersection of Northwest Broad Street and North Thompson Lane.

“The suspect told Officer (Jody) Johnson that he was sitting outside his house watching a UFO in the sky when a vehicle pulled into his driveway, and he thought the driver was about to do a drive-by shooting,” Officer Jacob Lamb said in a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report.

“He then grabbed his shotgun, got into his vehicle, and chased after the vehicle in question,” Lamb said in the report.

His explanation came as complete shock for the other driver, another Murfreesboro resident who first suspected the man was driving drunk or on drugs.
