43-year-old Nicholas Francisco was taken into custody for aggravated assault on April 28th. Francisco called the police, and when they arrived at his Patricia Drive residence, he told them his daughter, Gabriela Lucas, had gone missing around 5:30 p.m. on April 27th. Francisco said she ran away after he “disciplined” her and told him that she would kill herself. Francisco said she got into the car, drove away, and never returned. After officers searched for her, they returned to Francisco’s home, where they located Lucas in her car. Then, she told them her father “beat her,” not “disciplined,” so she ran away in fear. Lucas had a black eye, bruising on both sides of her face, and a red marking around her neck. She was then transported to Vanderbilt Pediatrics. Francisco was detained for the occurrence.
Nicholas Francisco was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 28th, charged with aggravated assault. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $12,500.
