Suspect Behavior
Another night at the kwik-e-mart
An unruly customer got into an argument with the clerk of an East Nashville convenience store and accused him of “being a Muslim,” police say. After being kicked out of the store, the perp gave money to a man in the parking lot and asked him to go in and buy him some booze. When that guy failed to return with the hooch, the 58-year-old man went back in the store and, after berating the clerk some more, punched the front door, cracking the glass. The victim described the suspect to police, who later found him staggering along Dickerson Pike, where he was picked up for public intoxication and vandalism.
Lady on the lam
When a patrol officer asked a woman to step out of her vehicle during a traffic stop, the driver gave several excuses before saying she just wanted to move her car first. The cop started to call for back up, at which point the suspect tried to roll up her window with the officer’s arm still inside, police say. The officer managed to free herself from the car before the perp, 46, took off down Murfreesboro Pike while yelling out the window, “I am not going to jail.” Police responded to the woman’s apartment complex on Briley Parkway a short time later and eventually found her hiding in another unit. Rather than being booked only for driving without a license, the lady was jailed on felony charges of aggravated assault on an officer and evading police.
Watch your step
A 43-year-old man called police and claimed his girlfriend had assaulted him in their Porter Road home. When officers arrived at the scene, the man was obviously drunk and home alone. After repeatedly changing his story, the man confessed he had accidentally fallen down the stairs, but blamed it on his girlfriend to get back at her. The stunt landed the suspect in jail for filing a false report.
A party in my pants
Police responded to a domestic dispute and found a belligerent 38-year-old woman with an open bottle of Early Times whiskey tucked in the back of her waistband. Despite the liquor bottle in her britches, police say the woman claimed she hadn’t had a drop to drink since the night before. The female suspect began cursing and insulting officers, who arrested her for disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
