39-year-old Thor Hameister was being escorted out of Luke 32’s bar in downtown Nashville on May 25 when he became more disruptive and caught the attention of nearby Metro Nashville Police Officers. He was obviously intoxicated and became physically aggressive with nearby patrons. Once outside the building, Lieutenant Stein took hold of Hameister’s arm to detain him, and Hameister pulled away and yelled to stop touching him. The tourist then applied both of his hands to the Lieutenant’s face and shoved him. Officers note Hameister, who is 6’1″ and 300 pounds, was then wrestled to the ground by multiple officers, including the Lieutenant, who is 5’8″ and 200 pounds.
Thor Joshua Hameister of 24th St in Fort Wainwright in Fairbank, AL, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 27th, charged with assault of an officer, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct. He is free on a $13,000 bond.

These clowns are why we can’t have a strong police presence anywhere but in the downtown area. Dealing with drunks, partiers, disturbing the peace etc. I, as a taxpayer, am getting sick and tired of it and the subsequent “slap on the wrist” that they get. They need major penalties and fines so that word spreads about what WILL happen to you in this nonsense.
