E.Z Emerson

19-year-old Janique Alicia Simpson and her boyfriend, 20-year-old Richard Pearson, had a domestic altercation with her brother, Jaheim Simpson, at Bell Road on December 18th. They advised officers that Jaheim and Janique always bicker, and today, she threw a key at him and missed, prompting him to throw a water bottle at her. She then called for Pearson, and he ran into the kitchen. Jaheim ran behind him while holding a knife in his left hand, causing Pearson to grab him to prevent himself from being stabbed. Jaheim then grabbed a glass cup that ended up shattering, creating shards that he ended up grabbing to try to stab Richard with. Janique and Richard tried to grab the shard away from Jaheim and cut their hands.

Officers spoke with Jaheim, who stated he was cooking when his sister began bickering with him. She opened the refrigerator, hitting him, causing him to bump the door back at her. She left the kitchen, returned with a water bottle, and threw it at him, so he grabbed it and threw it back. She then charged at him to attack, so he grabbed ahold of her in self-defense. Then, her boyfriend, Pearson, ran into the kitchen and grabbed him from behind, pinning him against the counter and ripping two of his dreads out. Then, Richard grabbed a glass cup and tried to hit him in the face with it, and it ended up shattering, turning into shards that Richard tried to stab him with. Jaheim attempted to hold the shard to prevent it from stabbing him, but it cut his hand. He stated Richard threw him to the floor and ended up cutting his left ankle and chin. Officers observed the lacerations Jaheim sustained, lining up with his statements, and deemed Richard and Janique as the primary aggressors. They were taken into custody for aggravated assault.

24-year-old Nickolas Brown was involved in a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend, Tara Jean Johnson, at Ramstone Way on October 24th. Officers spoke with Johnson, who explained that they discussed their lease when Brown came home from work since they had recently broken up. The discussion caused him to become enraged, grabbing her by the neck and throwing her onto their table, causing her to hit her head. Johnson stated that when she got up to get away, Brown grabbed her by the hair and yanked her back, so she tried to push him away. As he attempted to grab her again, Brown bit her right pinky finger and chased her as she ran outside to where her friends were waiting. Johnson got into her friend’s vehicle and escaped to their home on Summercrest Boulevard, where she would be safe to contact authorities. Officers observed purple-red bruising on Johnson’s neck and chest, a scrape on her right leg, a knot on the left side of her forehead, and a possible broken pinky finger.

Diamond Cooper

42-year-old Lavinia Shearron was jailed on September 12th after pepper spraying her 16-year-old on Franklin Road. The juvenile reported that she and her mother had gotten into an argument that led to her being pepper sprayed. Shearron told police that her daughter was being very disrespectful, and she confronted her daughter because she needed to be disciplined for speaking to her disrespectfully. The juvenile had walked into one of the rooms within the apartment, and when she came out, her mother pulled pepper spray from her bra and sprayed her. Shearron claims she did it out of a reaction because although she saw nothing in her daughter’s hands, she knew there were heavy objects in that room that her daughter may have used to throw at her. Ms. Shearron was taken into custody, and the juvenile was transported to Vanderbilt Children’s hospital.
