Wreck victim's family wants to thank helper

The family of a man who was found seriously injured along a rural roadside after a motorcycle accident Friday night is trying to contact the woman who stopped.

Timmy Freeman, 31, of Shelbyville, was flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center after he was discovered off Wheel Road, said Misty Mitchell, who says she's a friend of the victim.

"All we know is her name is Nancy," Mitchell said. "She called his wife on his cell phone after she stopped and helped."

Mitchell asks 'Nancy' to contact her at 437-3016.

Freeman was taken to Heritage Medical Center, then flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for treatment of head injuries, broken ribs and a broken wrist, Mitchell said.

He has been released from VUMC, Mitchell said, and is recuperating at home.

Wallet taken

A Shelbyville man told police his wallet was taken by someone who walked up from behind and struck him in the head at the intersection of West Jackson Street and Shelbyville Mills Road.

Officer Waymond Boyd said the man followed the suspect to a mobile home in a Shelbyville Mills Road park. All occupants of the trailer were asked by police to step outside, but the victim told officers he didn't recognize them and later said he didn't remember the suspect's appearance.

The victim was treated by Bedford County Emergency Medical Service for a cut over his left eye but didn't go to a hospital, Boyd said.

The amount of money taken was not listed in the report.

Possible robbery

Officers report they were unable to recover items a Shelbyville man says were taken Friday by two men who "jumped" him outside Discount Food Mart, South Cannon Boulevard.

The victim, described by police as intoxicated, told officers the suspects took his cell phone, $130 and several cans of beer from a 12-pack. He said he'd been in a truck with the men, who allegedly because angry because he hadn't bought enough beer at the store as payback after consuming some of theirs.

Officers said they found the suspects, who had been named by the victim. They had no cell phone in their possession and denied taking the money, police said.

Thefts

A thief may be celebrating upcoming holidays at someone else's expense.

An artificial Christmas tree, Christmas and Halloween decorations, 100 stuffed animals, a box of novelty t-shirts and a bed frame were missing from a storage unit at Shelbyville Self Storage, Bethany Lane, police said.

The items' owner was told by a manager her former unit had been rented to someone else, she told police. The new occupant told the manager the unit was empty and the lock missing when he rented it.
