27-year-old Allison Golata had a domestic altercation with her boyfriend, Austin Patrick Meeks, near Kasa the Gulch Nashville on July 20th. Responding officers could not find the couple but spoke with the complainant, who stated she witnessed Meeks punch Golata to the ground. The police later located Golata and Meeks on 11th Avenue attempting to enter an Uber. Officers then separated and interviewed them. Golata told officers they had an argument where they were pushing. She added that she was unsure why they were arguing. After several tries, officers could not get information from her because she kept telling them, “I don’t really know what happened” and “I don’t remember falling to the ground.”

Then, officers spoke with Meeks, who advised them that he and Golata were looking for their rideshare when she tried to grab his phone. Meeks added Golata bit him on his back, leaving a visible mark. Officers called the complainant back, and she provided her original statement. The complainant added that another passenger of the vehicle witnessed Golata bite Meeks. Golata was then deemed the primary aggressor. When officers went to detain her, she began kicking and screaming to the point where they had to carry Golata to the patrol car. While in the patrol car, a female officer searched Golata, and she kicked her body camera off her body. Golata was then taken into custody for domestic assault and resisting arrest.

After Rhodes turned around, officers observed the stench of marijuana. Officers followed him until they conducted a traffic stop on James Robertson Parkway.

When prompted, Rhodes consented to sobriety tests, performed poorly, and after being informed of implied consent, refused to provide a chemical sample. Then, officers obtained a warrant for two vials of his blood and transported him to Nashville General Hospital.
