WBFF Fox 45 :: Clarksville PD Arrest 5 on Aggravated Robbery Charges
Five men this morning were transported to Montgomery County Jail and booked on aggravated robbery charges, among others, for plan to forcefully take money from a man rumored to have a large sum of money as well as drugs. 
At around 2 a.m. on Wednesday, four men, Gregory Elliot, Willie Collins, Timothy Ogburn, and Lawrence Gillen, approached the 30 year old man and a 29 year old woman who were sitting inside of a car outside of the house.  A confrontation ensued resulting in the man being struck on the head several times with a handgun and the woman fleeing into the house and locking herself in a bedroom. 
Gillen and Ogburn followed her inside and attempted to break down the bedroom door.  Gillen was carrying a rifle and kicked the door several times waking up a man in the bedroom next door.  He opened the door, saw Gillen with the rifle, slammed the door shut, and called 911.  Gillen started kicking the man’s door until it came off its hinges, at which time, the man fought with the man over the gun.  During the struggle two rounds were discharged, but the man was able to wrestle the gun away from Gillen. 
Gillen and Ogburn ran. Elliot and Collins, who were guarding the 30 year old man outside, heard the shots fired inside of the house and ran. All four men entered a getaway vehicle and fled from the scene. 
The getaway vehicle was followed by the 30-year-old and another man who had come by the residence.  As the two men followed the suspect vehicle, they kept police apprised of their location.  As the men were following the getaway vehicle on Ft Campbell Blvd, Gillen and Ogburn who were in the rear passenger seats, fired rounds in the air and at the pursuing vehicle.  The men eventually lost track of the getaway vehicle.
At around 2:15 a.m., an officer located the vehicle, and with the assistance of other patrol officers, stopped the vehicle in the area of Tiny Town and Needmore Rd.  The suspects were taken to the detective division to be interviewed.
As detectives pursued the investigation, they also found a link to two robberies which occurred on September 3 between midnight and 1 a.m., where two men had robbed two women in the area of Mr C. Drive and two men in the area of 1471 Tiny Town Rd. Detectives determined Lawrence Gillen, who had been involved in the home invasion, and another man Devain Peterson were responsible for both robberies.Clarksville PD Arrest 5 on Aggravated Robbery Charges

Tenn. Powerball ticket worth $1 million
May 19, 2013 18:44 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Powerball ticket sold in Tennessee barely missed winning a share of an estimated $590.5 million prize. But the ticket has a nice consolation prize worth $1 million.

Officials say the Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in Chattanooga.

There's no word yet on who won.

A Powerball ticket sold at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., matched all six numbers selected Saturday night for the estimated $590.5 million prize. It's the highest Powerball jackpot in history.

The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11.
