MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Fox13) — Chaos broke out outside of the Young Dolph celebration Thursday afternoon at the FedExForum, landing multiple men behind bars, according to police.
Memphis Police said that officers noticed a stolen Infiniti Q40 in a parking garage on Beale St. shortly before the Celebration of Life for Young Dolph was set to end.
All three people inside the stolen car were detained and charges against those people were pending late Thursday night, Memphis Police said.
While MPD officers were attending to that situation, a black Mercedes began to speed towards the exit of the garage. Before it could get out, however, it wrecked and hit a pole inside the garage, according to police.
Police said that the driver, 20-year-old Guyland Key, tried to run but was quickly detained.
Officers discovered that Key had nine outstanding warrants. A search of the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office database showed that those warrants are for charges such as theft of property, aggravated assault and aggravated robbery.
His passenger, 27-year-old Antwon Fynn, had a warrant for Theft of Property $1,000 or less, police said.
Both of those men were arrested at the scene. Officers also reported finding a gun and marijuana.
While all of that chaos was unfolding, officers also noticed another stolen Infiniti Q40, according to the Memphis Police Department.
That car crashed in the 1000 block of Kyle, but those suspects were able to escape officers on foot, police said.
Friday morning, police said that Tonnie Smith, Daniel Banks and a 15-year-old boy were charged with Theft of Property, Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, and Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent.
According to an affidavit, police saw the stolen vehicle enter the parking garage before three people got out. They began walking toward the entrance, went back to the car, then walked back toward the entrance.
Police took Banks and Smith into custody.
The other person went inside the Forum, but was later located and identified, police said.
Smith had the key fob to the stolen vehicle and Banks had a handgun in his pants, the affidavit said.
The vehicle was towed for further investigation.
A search of the vehicle revealed: a backpack containing two jars of marijuana and two Glock handguns, police said.
Police found a bag of marijuana in the front passenger door, 9 loose rounds of ammunition in a cup holder, one AR-style pistol in the trunk, and a backpack in the trunk containing a box of plastic baggies and a digital scale.
All marijuana tested positive for THC and weighed a total of 85.7 grams, according to the affidavit.
The stolen vehicle was valued at $20,500.
