38-year-old Barquita Williams is charged with assault after she pushed a man to the ground who confronted her when she illegally parked in a handicapped parking spot at the Inglewood Kroger. Video footage captured the incident, and a citizen captured her license plate number, leading police to make the arrest. She is free on pre-trial release. Earlier in the month, Williams brought a handgun to an East Nashville High School where she got into a fight on campus.

| ARREST WARRANT / AFFIDAVIT: |
| On 12/03/2021, Roger Murray reported to police that he encountered a female who was parked in a handicap parking space at the Kroger located at 3410 Gallatin Pk. The female did not have a license or placard on her vehicle. The female was identified through the investigation as Barquita Williams. Martin stated the two had words. Williams exited her vehicle and put her finger in his face. Martin stated he turned and began walking away from Williams and was shoved to the ground. Martin stated that a concerned citizen copied the license plate number on Williams’ vehicle and handed it to him. The license plate number along with video footage of the incident led to the development of Williams as the suspect. On 12/13/21, I interviewed Barquita Williams at her workplace. She stated that she had encountered Martin and the two had words over her being in the handicap parking space. She stated that Martin put his finger up to her nose and then balled and raised his fist at her. She stated she put her hands up to defend herself and he stumbled. Her statements are clearly refuted by the video footage. |
