27-year-old Barak Bell Hammond tried to cross the street while traffic was moving in downtown Nashville late March 16th. An APS employee observed this and tried to stop Hammond from crossing the street. Hammond then shoved the APS employee, causing him to fall backward. While the APS employee was on the ground, a vehicle ran over his foot. The APS employee flagged officers down and informed them about the incident, adding that he did not wish to prosecute for the shove. When officers met with Hammond, he showed multiple signs of impairment, so he was deemed a danger to himself and others. Hammond was taken into custody for disorderly conduct and public intoxication.
Barak Bell Hammond of N 1450 W in Clinton, UT, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on March 17th, charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $350, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
