37-year-old Thomas Walks was involved in a domestic altercation with Jorell Wilson while on Anthes Drive on August 8th. Officers were dispatched to a Homeless shelter on Drexel Street regarding a domestic disturbance. When they arrived, they made contact with Wilson, who stated that she had gone to Anthes Drive to bring Walks food. However, Wilson claimed they had argued about Walks being paranoid about her making police reports or telling officers about past incidents. Wilson claimed that during the argument, Walks began punching her repeatedly before she had blacked out.
Wilson also told officers that when she blacked out, she was unsure if Walks was using a rock or just his hands. Wilson told officers she then fell down the nearby embankment into the Cumberland River. Wilson swam ashore and found a safe place to call officers. Officers noticed a large laceration on her forehead, and a warrant was later issued due to Walks not being on the scene when officers arrived. Walks was found the following day, August 9th, and taken into custody for aggravated assault.
Thomas Walks was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 9th, charged with aggravated assault. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $45,000.
