Suspect Behavior
Extended vacation
A would-be passenger who was “cursing and being aggressive” toward a security guard at the Greyhound Bus station really went ape-shit when his ticket was revoked because of his erratic behavior. The man’s money was refunded and he was told to leave, but instead he remained on the sidewalk and proceeded to “through [sic] a handful of change into the roadway of Eighth Avenue South at passing cars.” Police rolled up to the scene just as the 42-year-old suspect “threw a cigarette butt down on the ground near the feet of a young child who was walking with his mother.” The unruly traveler ignored numerous warnings to calm down, and was forced to extend his stay in Nashville after being arrested for disorderly conduct.
Not so happy hour
An employee of Big River Grille on Lower Broadway decided to “stay at the bar and drink” when she got off work at 3 p.m. Several hours and a few too many later, the 23-year-old woman tried to leave, and the manager took her car keys, suggesting she call a friend or a taxi for a ride. “When a ride arrived to take her home, she snatched the apron out of the manager’s hand,” according to an officer who responded to defuse the situation. “I took it back from her and she asked why she could not have it. Her manager said she was fired and at that point, the defendant balled up her fists and went at her manager.” Police pulled her away and she “cussed and yelled at her manager and went through several emotions continually.” Instead of getting a ride home that night, police gave her a lift to the station and charged her with public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

A group of guys were hanging outside a downtown nightclub when “a young lady,” later identified as the defendant’s girlfriend, told a nearby officer to “keep an eye on” the defendant. The cop told the 27-year-old suspect three times to get in a cab and go home, but instead he “continued to talk to the males in a manner that led me to believe he was attempting to provoke a confrontation.” The officer gave the perp one more chance to call it a night, at which point the man said “fuck this” and continued talking smack. Unable to keep his mouth shut, the man spent the night in jail for disorderly conduct. No word on whether the girlfriend bailed him out.
Roommate needed—crazies need not apply
After taking part in a “loud shouting match” at the Travel Lodge, a woman stood in the middle of Brick Church Pike, flagged down passing officers and “stated with slurred speech that she had been kicked out of her room by her roommate and she had property inside the room that she needed.” Unable to walk in a straight line, the suspect said she had had four beers, so police escorted her back to the room to safely collect her belongings. “The suspect requested her clothing, and as the roommate began passing her clothing outside to her, the defendant began throwing the clothing in the garbage can, stating she did not want it. The defendant continued to swear loudly at the roommate and was asked by officers to lower her voice and cease the cursing.” The woman refused to dial down her “loud and annoying tone, which disturbed other residents based on the fact that they began to shake their heads in disbelief.”
