26-year-old Alicia Young held out her hands and said, “Just take me to jail!” as police approached her at 5th & Broadway in downtown Nashville in the early hours of Thursday morning. Officers approached her after a man told police he was attacked and tackled by a short white female, identifying young to officers. The assault victim didn’t wish to prosecute for the assault, but police found her to be extremely intoxicated and unable to be left alone. They attempted to find out where she was staying or how to contact her friends, but she refused to provide any information. She was eventually taken into custody and charged with public intoxication.
