24-year-old Nathaniel Bakari Caine was seen driving a gray BMW X5 without a seatbelt and using his phone on Dickerson Pike late June 26th. After observing this, officers conducted a traffic stop and instructed Caine to pull into the Dollar General parking lot nearby. When they approached the driver’s side, they requested Caine’s identification, but he told them he did not have his license. Caine added that he was headed to his girlfriend’s house and did not think he needed it. During their interaction, officers noticed a strong marijuana odor and asked if there was any in his vehicle. At first, Caine refused to answer, but shortly after, he said yes without clarifying exactly where it was. While officers detained Caine, he became resistive, so they placed him in the back of their patrol car. While searching Caine’s vehicle, they located a plastic baggie with 19.6 grams of marijuana. After they seized it, they returned to the patrol car and overheard Caine talking to who he identified as his mother, telling her to hurry up and come to the traffic stop. Officers removed his belongings and tried to place him back into the patrol car, but he started resisting again. Caine was then taken into custody for simple possession and resisting arrest.

When officers approached Perkins outside the location, he pointed at Woodson and said, “I want to f*cking beat his ass.” A staff member from the parking garage informed officers that after Perkins had been escorted from the premises, he came up to them requesting to “borrow his phone.” Perkins was then taken into custody for assault and disorderly conduct.

43-year-old Amanda Natoli was involved in an altercation with her romantic partner Larry Brandridge at a TownePlace Suites Nashville Midtown on June 22nd. When authorities were contacted, they were advised that a loud disturbance was coming from the room where Natoli was residing. The hotel security knocked on the door to make contact with Brandridge. When Brandridge answered, he stated that Natoli attacked him with a bottle of Grey Goose. Brandridge was bleeding from his head and had red marks on his ribs and wrist. When asked what happened, he claimed that he and Natoli had been drinking on Broadway all day, and as the day went on, she became highly intoxicated. While they were walking on Broadway, the two got into an argument. When Brandridge and Natoli returned to their room, she started yelling, asking Brandridge, “Where’s your whore?

Officers observed the room in disarray, located shards of glass in Brandridge’s hair, and observed large pieces scattered throughout the room. Natoli was then taken into custody for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
