Stolen Gun with "Switch" Seized After High-Speed Chase in Memphis

Last Friday, November 14th, 2025, members of the Memphis Safe Task Force attempted to stop a vehicle for multiple traffic violations. However, the driver refused to pull over and instead led officers on a high-speed pursuit.

The chase ultimately ended when the vehicle lost control and crashed into a telephone pole. Authorities were able to immediately apprehend all three occupants of the car - two 18-year-old men, Lecedri Brown and Christopher Bridges, as well as a juvenile.

During a search of the vehicle, police discovered a stolen gun that had been illegally modified with a "switch" device. This conversion allows a semi-automatic handgun to fire in fully automatic mode, dramatically increasing its rate of fire and lethality.
