Freddy Leyva drunkenly threatens to slap police officer in downtown Nashville

36-year-old Freddy Leyva was taken into custody for public intoxication on April 22nd. Late April 21st,  officers were flagged down regarding two “overly intoxicated” individuals near 3rd Avenue North and Commerce Street, one of which was later identified as Leyva. When officers arrived, they noticed he showed signs of impairment and alerted the medics, who transported the other unidentified female for medical evaluation. While waiting for the medical unit, officers asked Leyva what the relationship between him and the unidentified female was, causing Leyva to become aggressive. Leyva then threatened to slap an officer, so officers detained him. When medics arrived, Leyva was deemed a danger to himself and others after refusing all medical services. Leyva was taken into custody for public intoxication.
