Suspect Behavior
Ninja in training
Officers responded to a McDonald’s on Nolensville Pike after receiving a report of a drunk guy bragging to customers about his arsenal of knives. When police arrived, they found the 52-year-old suspect “displaying 31 pocket knives, some with large blades, making the public uncomfortable.” Searching the perp for additional weapons, police say they found several cans of beer stashed in the man’s coat pockets, and he was booked for disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
Unsportsmanlike conduct
Police patrolling Hillsboro Village shortly after midnight spotted two men playing catch with a potted plant in the middle of 21st Avenue. When officers approached, one of the guys attempted to run but was quickly apprehended. The suspects—ages 31 and 32—admitted they had been drinking at the Sportsman’s Grille most of the evening and that they thought it would be funny to steal the plant on their way out the door. The jokers were carted downtown and charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
Silence is golden
A woman got mad at her boyfriend for talking too loudly and threatened to go ballistic if he didn’t lower his voice. When the man kept on yapping, police say his girlfriend followed through on the threat, hitting the victim in the head with a frying pan. Apparently the victim still didn’t quiet down, and the suspect, 44, proceeded to cut his arm with a piece of broken glass. Officers responded to the scene, and the perp refused to answer any questions about the incident, although she did confess, “I wish I would have cut his whole arm off.” Seeing no need for further questioning, police cuffed the woman and charged her with aggravated assault.
Backseat driver
A 25-year-old man was in the backseat when his friend was pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence. As officers conducted a field sobriety test on the driver, the backseat passenger crawled into the front and attempted to start the car, even though the keys had been removed from the ignition. Police say the passenger then attempted to exit the vehicle, despite warnings to stay put, and repeatedly taunted his buddy as he attempted to walk a straight line and stand on one leg. The perp was arrested for disorderly conduct and public intoxication and was taken to jail along with the suspected drunk driver.
