PD: Quarantined man arrested after he jumps fence at Fairgrounds, tries to flee

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - A 39-year-old man, who was quarantined for COVID-19 at the Nashville Fairgrounds, was arrested after police said he jumped a fence and fled without permission from the health department.

Randle Kirkley was quarantined at the Fairgrounds on Thursday after police said he tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday.

Kirkley was quarantined by the Metro Public Health Department and would not be allowed to leave until cleared by them.

On Thursday, police said Kirkley jumped the fence and fled down Nolensville Road. He was stopped almost two miles away from the facility at the Nashville Cemetery.

Kirkley was charged with escaping a penal institution and is being held in lieu $5,000 bond.

Is the Nashville Fairgrounds a penal colony or a FEMA camp?

The last sentence of the article kind of answers that question.

a penal institution?

WTF? are the cattle cars there also?

If you're jumping fences and running, that sounds healthy enough here.

He only got two miles away; he should go for the marathon and stay away from cemeteries.

Trying to hide in a cemetery does not sound too bright since everyone in there is six feet under. ;)

Apparently the fairgrounds is a homeless shelter.

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - The Fairgrounds Nashville has announced it will remain closed to events through May.

This means the May Flea Market and all other previously scheduled events will not be held.

Fairgrounds staff will continue to support the homeless shelter for as long as it is needed. Fairgrounds staff would also like to thank the many Metro departments and partners that have contributed to the homeless shelter's operation.

Homeless people are always just one step away from a jail cell,,, or a cattle car.

Dunno about Tennessee, but wherever I’ve practiced, you have to be sentenced before you can “escape”.

Kirkley was charged with escaping a penal institution and is being held in lieu $5,000 bond

That does raise some questions.
