Suspect Behavior
Cents of a woman
A male victim reports that he and his live-in girlfriend got into an argument because she didn’t like his friends hanging out at their house. The woman, 37, then pushed her boyfriend—who had just undergone neck surgery—and began punching him in the neck, police say. Toward the end of the confrontation, the perp picked up a jar of pennies and threw it at the victim, barely missing him. Police arrested the suspect, and according to the report, “aggravated charges resulted from use of deadly weapon of narrowly missing post-operative victim with heavy jar of pennies.”
I’m da bomb
An anonymous caller phoned police on Sept. 15 and claimed a bomb was going to go off at the Vanderbilt University football game that was under way. The call was traced to a cell phone, and officers quickly located the suspect driving along Shelby Avenue in East Nashville. After he was arrested, the perp admitted to placing the phone call, but said he was calling for help and was very angry at the time, police say. The suspect denied making a bomb threat, however, claiming he told the dispatcher that “he felt like a bomb” and that he was going to “go off.” The 56-year-old was booked for making a false report.
Time for separate accounts
An argument over money turned violent when a woman, 42, began chasing her husband around the house with a belt. The victim managed to make it out the front door without being injured and went for a walk until the suspect calmed down, police say. When the man returned, his wife had fallen asleep, and he called police to report this incident, along with a recent assault in which “the defendant ran him over with the vehicle.” Officers responded, woke the sleeping suspect and charged her with aggravated assault.
Screw you, occifer
An officer was stopped at a red light at the corner of Metroplex Drive and Harding Place when a man stumbled into the intersection and began cursing and shouting incoherently. When the perp noticed the officer, police say he held up his middle finger and began taunting the cop. The light turned green and the man refused to move, at which point the officer attempted to take him into custody. The 51-year-old suspect took a swing at the officer to avoid being handcuffed, but missed because he was too intoxicated. He was carted off to jail after a brief struggle and booked for disorderly conduct, public intoxication and resisting arrest.
