Jose Gonzalez deemed too drunk for downtown Nashville

29-year-old Jose Gonzalez was observed outside of Mellow Mushroom in downtown Nashville to be highly intoxicated and unable to care for himself. He could barely stand and reeked of alcohol, according to police. He was offered medical treatment and transport but refused all services. Unable to locate his friends to retrieve him, officers took him into custody and charged him with public intoxication. Once at holding, he vomited everywhere yet continued to insist he was ‘fine’ and just wanted the handcuffs off.

Derrick McNair charged in theft of items from man’s home, co-defendant still at-large

Police say 21-year-old Derrick McNair and Sydney Bell stole $9,610 worth of items from the home of Jose Gonzalez after Gonzalez had let Bell stay there for a few days when he had nowhere else to stay. After an argument ensued about her not cleaning up after herself, Jose went to work, only to return later to find multiple items missing from his home. A neighbor recognized McNair and Bell, and confronted them about taking the items from the home, but was unable to stop them. Warrants were issued from their arrest, and McNair was booked into custody this week.
