The only known gang at this time to Cheatham County is reportedly "Folk Nation." If you google Folk Nation, the wiki states that Folk Nation is actually a group of gangs that have formed an alliance. Another link to a FL law enforcement web site states that any Folk Nation member automatically is in allegiance with the Latin Kings. I used to work with juvenile court in Knox County, and was really happy to know that gangs weren't prevalent here locally. Unfortunately, according to this Tennessean article, this is no longer the case.
