MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A man who played a cat-and-mouse game with deputies at 90 mph on a Tennessee interstate and threatened to carry out a Uvalde-type mass shooting has been arrested and is being held on $10,000 bond.
According to Action News 5, police observed 21-year-old Christopher D. Caldwell’s black Lexus weaving between vehicles and cutting off cars while traveling at 90 mph on the interstate. Action News 5 reported that Caldwell was seen as “contemptuous deputies” with risky vehicle maneuvers.

Police eventually caught Caldwell, who forced a traffic stop, and placed him inside their patrol vehicle. While in police custody, Caldwell began a conversation with deputies, informing them several times that “if he gets out of jail, he’ll be in the news wearing his tactical gear,” according to Action 5.
He told officials that “the next Dallas shooting … will do something like Uvalde, Texas.”
After searching Caldwell’s car, officers found a handgun with 17 9mm rounds, a box with 10 Luger 9mm rounds, a box with 87 Winchester 9mm rounds, an empty box with .308 rifle rounds and a magazine pouch.
Caldwell has been charged with speeding, reckless driving and making threats of mass violence on school property.
