29-year-old Matthew Edward Lyons had a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Cassy Gould, on the west side of Nissan Stadium near the riverwalk in the early hours of September 8th. Responding officers located Gould, who had blood around her face and a laceration on the left corner of her mouth. She told them that her new boyfriend, later identified as Lyons, who she only knew as “007,” had hit her in the mouth, took her purse, and rode off on his bicycle. She provided them with a description of Lyons, saying that he had a horn tattoo on his forehead, a “007” tattoo on the back of his neck, scabs all over his arms, and was riding a bicycle with three backpacks on the handlebars.

The police report stated that Lyons and Gould were homeless and had been camping on the east bank of the river near the stadium. After this, officers searched the area and found Lyons. He denied hitting Gould and said she accused him of taking her purse then started hitting herself. However, Lyons had a fresh cut on his right index finger knuckle, consistent with Gould’s version of events. Gould was transported to the hospital and was informed that she would probably need stitches for her split lip. Lyons was taken into custody for domestic assault.

Matthew Edward Lyons was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on September 8th, charged with domestic assault with bodily injury. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $3,000.
