DEFENDANT: Johnnie B Jordan

The defendant was observed operating a black Cadillac and stopped by Officer Wesley McClelland for stopping in traffic to make a left turn without signaling. While waiting to make a turn, the defendant’s vehicle caused other vehicles to have to stop in traffic and oncoming traffic was also not warned of the defendant’s intent to turn as it passed. The defendant smelled of ingested alcoholic beverages, had watery red eyes, was slurring his speech to the point of being difficult to understand, and admitted drinking. In the defendant’s vehicle, officers located an open container containing beer and a small amount of powder contain. The vehicle’s passenger had a pipe consistent with use for the ingestion of cocaine on his person and stated that the defendant handed it to them when they were stopped. The defendant had difficulty maintaining his balance while speaking with officers. He consented to perform field sobriety tasks and showed significant indicators of impairment on the horizontal gaze nystagmus task and the walk and turn task. He began to attempt to perform the one leg stand task, then stated that he was unable to do so due to having back surgery. The defendant was placed under arrest for DUI and read the Implied Consent advisory. Due to the defendant’s obvious considerable impairment and the presence of cocaine in the vehicle, officers asked the defendant to consent to a blood test. The defendant replied by saying, “Hell fucking no.” After transporting the defendant to DCSO booking, officers allowed him to exit the rear seat of the patrol vehicle. As he did so, he attempted to strike Officer Lefler in the face with his left elbow while saying, “Get back bitch.” However, due to his intoxication and the fact that he was handcuffed, he failed to actually make contact. The defendant continued to forcefully pull away from officers as they escorted him into booking and failed to stop resisting until actually turned over to DCSO booking staff.

DEFENDANT: ELTRON ANTONIO KELLY Jr.

Victim and suspect used to be in a dating relationship. Against her better judgement, the victim made arrangements to meet the suspect at the Kroger parking lot located at 5502 Old Hickory Blvd., to talk about “things”. While at the location, the two began to argue, and the suspect stood in front of the victim’s car door refusing to allow her to leave. The victim was able to grab her phone from the vehicle and started to call 911, when the suspect took the phone from her and began scrolling through it. The suspect found a message from another man, which made him more angry, at which point he threw her phone. The victim then grabbed her work phone from the vehicle and attempted to call 911 again. The suspect slapped the phone from her hand and grabbed her arm, spun her around, and threw her up against his vehicle. The victim stated that she saw an unknown man in the parking lot and asked for his help. That individual told the suspect that he was a federal agent, and the suspect needed to give the victim back her property and allow her to leave. The victim got her phones back, left the location, went home and called police to file a report. There were no visible injuries noticed by responding officers at the time, but the victim stated that she suffers from anemia, and more than likely, she would have bruising in a few days. Domestic Violence Division Detective Hummell and Lopez went to the victim’s place of employment and photographed bruising to her arm and stomach, consistant with an assault.
