NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A man featured for months on the Metro Nashville Police Department's list of "Most Wanted" fugitives has been arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service, officials with the U.S. Department of Justice have announced.

According to the USMS, the Fugitive Task Force arrested 31-year-old Adrian Abernathy in Brentwood. Abernathy was wanted for multiple felonies, including vehicular homicide, three counts of aggravated assault, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, motor vehicle theft, firearm theft, reckless endangerment, false report and federal supervised release violation.

The USMS said Abernathy had warrants dating back to November 2022, when he was discovered to be the driver of a stolen Lincoln Navigator SUV that crashed into the rear of a tractor-trailer on Rosa L. Parks Boulevard, killing his passenger, Todd Bryant of Antioch.

At the time of the accident, USMS said Abernathy claimed he was in the rear seat of the SUV and Bryant was driving. Further investigation showed Abernathy to be the true driver of the SUV, and police believe the vehicle was traveling more than 100 mph just before the crash.

For this incident, Abernathy spent several months on the "Most Wanted" list, including a five-month stint starting in the summer of 2024 and a later reappearance that December.

The task force reportedly located Abernathy at an Autumn Oaks Drive residence in Brentwood. With assistance from the Rutherford County drone unit, Abernathy was arrested without incident. He was transported to the Davidson County Detention Center and booked on the outstanding charges. He remains jailed, according to jail records at time of publication.
