25-year-old New Yorker Michael Rowland is charged with assault of an officer after he smacked a police horse on the ass Saturday night in downtown Nashville. The horse reportedly jumped, which placed the mounted officer “in fear of falling off the horse and hurting himself,” according to Metro Nashville Police. The officer was able to corner Rowland as other officers responded and took him into custody for the assault.
