68-year-old Kurt Sax had an altercation with his ex-girlfriend, Patricia Landis, and her security guard, Adam Benjamin Chavin, at his Old Hickory Boulevard apartment on July 11th. Officers were advised that Sax and Landis were going through a breakup, and Landis was moving out of his apartment. Landis hired Chavin as a security guard due to Sax’s violent behavior and alcohol abuse. Earlier that day, Sax became intoxicated and belligerent towards Chavin and Landis. This soon sparked an argument where Sax shoved and punched Chavin in the face several times. Chavin defended himself by pushing Sax and wrestling him to the ground. Landis corroborated Chavin’s statements. When officers arrived, they noticed Sax was visibly intoxicated, showing signs of impairment. Officers noticed Sax had a knife lying on the couch. Landis informed them that Sax also had multiple firearms in the house. Then, Sax approached officers aggressively, so they detained him for the occurrence. Sax was taken into custody for assault and disorderly conduct.
