NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A man is facing several charges including aggravated kidnapping and robbery after police arrested him for a mid-November robbery in Nashville.

Metro Nashville police said the victim got off at the Fesslers Lane exit from I-24 on his way to work when a Nissan Maxima cut him off.

Cordarious Dashaun Clark, 29, and another man approached the victim’s car and claimed the victim damaged his Maxima. After Clark demanded the victim pay him, police said the suspects got into the victim’s car and forced him to drive to an ATM.

The victim took a photo of the Maxima’s license plate before Clark physically assaulted him. The victim’s phone was smashed and Clark took his wallet, police said. Although Clark demanded the victim to delete the photo of the license plate, it was retained on a cloud-based service.

Officers took Clark into custody Wednesday night on Norcross Driver after he was seen driving his vehicle on Murfreesboro Pike.

He faces charges of aggravated kidnapping, robbery, vandalism and evidence tampering warrants. Clark is being held in lieu of a $117,500 bond.

“You really need to be careful with ATMs,” Shaun Boyce, who was at the gas station Thursday, said. “You need to have your head on a swivel around here. It is not just here. It is West End and all over the place.”

MNPD shared tips from AAA that said drivers should remain in their locked car and start honking to attract attention, drive to a public place like a hospital, police or fire station if possible.

“I personally would never stop unless I am in a populated area,” Boyce said. “I tell my wife or anybody else to do the same thing.”
