While talking to her, they noticed visible marks on her face and neck. She told them that the injuries were from Salamon attacking her. Salamon told officers that he and Pridemore argued over the car keys and their child, but he never put his hands on her. After officers noticed the fresh abrasions on her skin, they deemed Salamon the primary aggressor and detained him. Salamon was taken into custody for domestic assault.

28-year-old Justin Haynes drove his car with a flat tire at Buena Vista Pike on February 24th. Officers observed this and conducted a traffic stop before the Overlook Ridge Apartments. They approached the driver’s side and asked him to roll down his window, which he did after rolling down a backseat window by mistake. Haynes told them he was coming from a family event at O’Charlie’s and trying to pull over to service his car. He was unsure of his whereabouts as they asked him to provide his driver’s credentials, and then they were notified about his suspended license. They asked him to exit his car to perform sobriety tests, but he refused, stating, “I have already been drinking this evening.” Officers saw an empty Four Loko can and Mike’s Hard Lemonade behind the passenger’s seat before Mirandizing him. Haynes agreed to provide a breath sample, which resulted in 0.13 BAC%, and then he was taken into custody for driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.

46-year-old Joshua Damon Ayers was unconscious in the driver’s seat of his vehicle, blocking the roadway on Old Hickory Boulevard on the night of February 10th. NFD personnel spoke with him until officers arrived to question him. Officers asked Ayers for his driver’s credentials, and he fumbled his wallet, needing help locating his license. Ayers advised officers that he could not recall what happened and was unaware of his whereabouts. Ayers also told officers that he just had a death in his family. Ayers then stumbled, exited the vehicle, and fell into a ditch before trying to use the bathroom while speaking with officers. A subsequent search of his car resulted in officers locating a nearly empty 750 ml bottle of Smirnoff Vodka on the passenger side floorboard. Officers took Ayers to a different location to perform sobriety tests, but he refused. After being informed of implied consent, he did not agree to provide a breath or blood sample. Ayers was taken into custody for driving under the influence and implied consent.
