A Collegedale slashed tire complaint turned into something very different

The "slashed" tire wasn't caused by a vandal after all

COLLEGEDALE, Tennessee (WDEF) – Collegedale Police found on Tuesday that looks can be deceiving.

They were called to the Walmart Parking lot on a case of a slashed tire and vehicle damage.

The tire was shredded and the vehicle next to it had a large dent.

But a review of surveillance footage showed this was not the case of an angry vandal, at all.

Police say it turned out that the tire was overinflated and it just blew up in the heat.

The explosion caused the damaged to the vehicle next to it.
