Suspect Behavior
It’s alive (and really drunk)
A report of a “dead body in the back of a truck with his legs hanging out” turned out to be a man napping in the parking lot after throwing back a few too many. When responding officers roused the suspect, 22, he was “sweating profusely” and “kept spitting.” The man then attempted to stagger away, and when an officer tried to stop him, he slapped the cop’s hand. Police handcuffed the perp behind his back and locked a “hobble restraint” around his ankles before placing him in the back of the cruiser. As they were heading to the jail, the suspect “managed to slide off his shoes and pull his feet out of the hobble restraint” and then “dove head first out of the window,” police say. Not surprisingly, the suspect made it only a few steps before two officers tackled him to the ground.
Grapes of wrath
A woman who called the cops on a male acquaintance after he shot up her car with a pistol was threatened by the man’s mother a few days later when they ran into each other at the neighborhood Wal-Mart. Angry with the victim for getting her son into trouble, “The defendant picked up a…bottle (possibly sparkling grape juice) and held it up saying she was going to hit the victim in the head with it,” police say. As the victim exited the store, the suspect asked the clerk at the checkout counter if she could “pay for the bottle because she planned on using it on the victim when she left the store,” according to police. She assured the cashier that “she knew better than to mess up the store.” Wal-Mart security called police and the suspect, 49, was booked for aggravated assault.

Police arrested a Madison woman who went ballistic on her boyfriend after finding him “in the room naked with another woman,” police say. The suspect, 43, began swinging and scratching at her boyfriend, causing him to bleed in several places. When officers responded and asked the suspect how she got into the house in the first place, she gave numerous stories ranging from, “I have a key” to “Odell let me in.” Once it became clear she was going to be arrested, the suspect claimed her boyfriend had punched her in the mouth, but police weren’t buying it: “The defendant had no visible injuries, but was biting on her lip and showing police.”
Guzzler’s travels
A drunken traveler set off an alarm at the Nashville International Airport when he opened an emergency door at one of the gates. Police responded to concourse C and found the suspect in the rest room where he “appeared to be intoxicated as he was sitting on the counter,” police say. An officer escorted the man, 24, to his gate, where he was denied boarding because he was too drunk. The officer then told the suspect “to take a hotel shuttle to sleep it off” and come back in the morning to catch his flight. He said he would have a friend pick him up instead, but an hour later the suspect still was wandering around the airport. Giving him one more chance to avoid jail, the officer walked the man outside to hail a cab. “When the cab driver asked him where he wanted to go, he replied, ‘Here!’ He then stepped out of the cab,” according to the officer, who finally arrested the perp for public intoxication.
