26-year-old John Wilcox threw a full beer can off the rooftop of Jason Aldean’s Bar late April 4th. Officers were walking through the parking lot between Jason Aldean’s and Broadway Brewhouse when they observed the can being thrown across the lot, smashing nearby, causing beer to splatter on them. Officers said a significant amount of alcohol came out of it while it traveled through the air. After this, they saw Wilcox duck down and move away on the rooftop.
Security for the establishment signaled to officers by flashing their flashlights at them and pointing at Wilcox. Security escorted him outside, where officers were waiting to detain him. He made random comments and admitted to throwing the beer. Additionally, officers reviewed surveillance, which showed the entirety of the incident. Wilcox was taken into custody for the assault of an officer and reckless endangerment.
John T Wilcox was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 5th, charged with assault on officer and reckless endangerment. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $10,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
