19-year-old Matthew Walker was seen trespassing at Hadley Park on 28th Avenue on July 7th. Officers were called due to a large gathering after hours. When officers arrived, they began dispersing the crowd. Officers then noticed Walker leaning on a car but was not leaving. When officers told him to leave, he claimed he was waiting for his Uber. Officers then told Walker to leave the park and stay on the sidewalk while he waited, which he did. Officers then went back to the property. When officers made it back toward the entrance of the park, they noticed Walker back on the property. Officers once again told him to leave, or he would be arrested. Walker insisted he was just waiting for his ride before officers directed him back to the sidewalk. When the crowd left, and officers returned to their patrol vehicle, they noticed Walker on the property again. Due to Walker not listening and the two warnings given, Walker was taken into custody for criminal trespassing.
Matthew Leon Walker of Oxford Street in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 7th, charged with criminal trespass. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
