38-year-old Tyler Shingleton was involved in a domestic dispute with his wife, Kerri Shingleton at their Cherrybark Court residence on August 22nd. Before officers arrived, they were informed a relative of Kerri had received Facebook messages from Kerri stating, “Call 911, he is hitting me,” and “Don’t know what he will do when they get here.” One of the messages also stated that Tyler would shoot their dog if she left. Once officers arrived and spoke with Tyler, he said that the only thing that happened between him and Kerri was a verbal argument. During the officers’ conversation with Tyler, they noticed Kerri wasn’t at the location. Shortly after their observation, Tyler informed them that Kerri was on the phone with him and that she had gone out to get tampons.
Hearing this, officers requested that Kerri return to have a personal conversation with her about the incident. Upon her arrival, officers noted that Kerri was crying and appeared visibly distressed. Kerri told officers that during the argument she had with Tyler, he hit her in the face and then strangled her. Kerri added that she believed that Tyler only stopped strangling her so he wouldn’t leave marks on her neck. Tyler was then taken into custody and charged with aggravated assault on August 23rd.
Tyler T. Shingleton of Cherrybark Court in Hermitage, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 23rd, charged with aggravated assault. He is free on a $5,000 bond.
