Brodie Martin

50-year-old Gregory Fraction was seen refusing to leave the Nashville Rescue Mission on September 2nd. Staff at the location requested that officers remove Fraction because he already had an active trespass waiver. When officers arrived, they observed that Fraction was standing at the main entrance door and displaying signs of intoxication. While speaking with Fraction, officers reported that he was uncooperative, refused to provide necessary information, and was argumentative. Fraction was then placed in custody and escorted to a patrol car so officers could conduct an arrest search. During that process, Fraction showed increased agitation and resistance. This led to Fraction pushing, pulling, and locking his legs while officers attempted to put him inside the patrol vehicle. Once Fraction was secured inside the patrol car, he stated his entire body hurt and requested an ambulance. Once medics arrived and Fraction was in the back of the ambulance, he ripped off the medical equipment that was being used to obtain his vitals. Following this, Fraction was transported to booking and charged with criminal trespassing, resisting arrest, and public intoxication on September 3rd.

31-year-old Tyler Lynn Bidwell flagged officers down for assistance on Broadway near Jason Aldean’s Rooftop Bar in the early hours of August 18th.  The police asked him how they could help him, and he said he would like to speak with a supervisor. During this, they observed Bidwell reeking of alcohol and showing signs of intoxication as he further explained that he wanted to know why they had a group of individuals detained. Officers responded by explaining that they were engaging with members of the community and that the individuals were free to go at any time. Then, Bidwell asked for a supervisor again. After being questioned about the nature of the request, Bidwell said, “I do not answer questions.” After several requests without a reason, officers called for a supervisor. Officers were informed that due to a high volume of service calls, they would not be able to come to the scene. The officers tried to see if they could assist Bidwell, but he refused to answer their questions. Then, they determined that he did not need their help and walked away. After this, Bidwell went to Broadway Brewhouse Downtown and started antagonizing the people speaking with officers by getting in their faces with his cell phone.

The individuals then went to officers and complained about Bidwell’s actions, stating that he was annoying them. Bidwell was deemed a danger to himself and was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
