Heidi Sutton assaults sleeping mother who came to care for her after previous arrest

39-year-old Heidi Sutton had a domestic altercation with her mother, Louise Ann Sutton, at her apartment on 12th Avenue South on February 4th. Louise reported that Heidi allowed her and her husband to stay there, but Heidi became aggressive toward them throughout the night. While they were sleeping, Heidi came into the room and punched her mother in the arm. Louise’s husband got out of bed to protect them, and Heidi left the location. Louise advised that she wished to prosecute for the assault, and Heidi Sutton was taken into custody for the charge. Heidi was also jailed a week before this incident for a separate incident involving her attempting to assault a police officer with a cell phone during a panic attack.

Nashville Police arrest woman seeking help for panic attack — Heidi Sutton jailed

39-year-old Heidi Sutton was jailed late Saturday night after Metro Nashville Police responded to a medical call on 12th Ave South. Sutton told responding officers she was experiencing a panic attack, and they informed her that an ambulance was on the way to assist her. Officers then directed her inside in order to stay warm, at which point she reportedly threw a cell phone at one of the officers, aiming at his head. Multiple officers then took Sutton to the ground, where she resisted arrest until she was eventually subdued and handcuffed. She was then transported to booking, where she was charged with assault of an officer and resisting arrest.
