37-year-old Kenneth Hershberger was jailed this week on an outstanding warrant from March 2022, charging him with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon during a March 2022 road rage incident. Kelly Baker was driving on I-24, and there was a line of traffic behind a white work truck, which was driven by Hershberger. They blew their horn at the truck to influence him to move to a slower lane of travel, and they were brake checked by the truck multiple times before eventually changing lanes. As the victim drove past the vehicle, Hershberger was reportedly pointing a handgun at them.

27-year-old Kayla Pemberton was booked into the Meto Nashville Jail Tuesday on several outstanding warrants which stemmed from her stay with a South Nashville resident. Warrants allege that in February a resident allowed Pemberton and her son to temporarily stay with her for a few days due to the winter storms. When she advised them they had to leave when the storms were over, Pemberton allegedly became angry and started “destroying the apartment” by throwing things around and breaking them, including cups and an ashtray, which caused damage to the carpet.

The victim, who is in a wheelchair, says Pemberton pushed her which caused bruising to her arms, and took a bottle of approximately 50 prescription pills and food before finally leaving the apartment as requested. Officers documented the disarray of the apartment, including broken dishes on the floor. Kayla Pemberton is charged with assault, theft, and vandalism, and is free on a $3,000 bond.
