45-year-old Tyler Morris was involved in a domestic altercation with his wife, Nicole Morris, at the Cambria Hotel on 8th Avenue Street on July 13th. When the officers arrived, they made contact with Nicole and immediately noticed a laceration on the right side of her head. Nicole told officers that she had gotten into an argument with Tyler. During this argument, she claimed she had fallen, which caused the injury to her head. When asked, Nicole further stated that Tyler did not assault or threaten her during the altercation. Officers then spoke with Tyler, who claimed that during the argument, Nicole attempted to hit him with a curling iron by swinging it at him. Tyler claimed that, in response to Nicole swinging the curling iron, he put his forearm up in defense and pushed Nicole away. This caused her to fall and hit her head on a wall corner. Both parties seemed intoxicated while speaking with officers, and neither wanted to prosecute. However, officers deemed Tyler to be the primary aggressor, and he was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Tyler Bradley Morris of Wexford Drive in Walton, KY, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 13th, charged with domestic assault. He is free on a $5,000 bond.
