When officers arrived, Galvez was sitting by a dumpster at the complex. Once Galvez was asked about the knife he had in his hand, he dropped it. Galvez was stated to be making suicidal statements and seemed visibly distressed. Officers then made contact with Madison Mobbs, who was seen sobbing in a vehicle nearby. Mobbs told officers that she and Galvez had previously dated. She went on to say about a month ago, she and Galvez had a domestic incident where she needed to have an order of protection issued against her and was arrested. Mobbs stated Galvez has constantly attempted to communicate with her up to this point, but she has not responded. On July 12th, Galvez sent her suicidal statements saying that he was mentally tired, along with photos of where he had cut himself on his arms. Mobbs could not respond due to the order of protection. Galvez then arrived at Mobbs’ apartment and knocked on the door.

Mobbs stated that she slightly cracked the door due to Galvez reeking of chemicals. Galvez then made his way inside and began acting erratically. Galvez started yelling, throwing his arms around, and got into Mobbs’ face, making suicidal statements. Galvez told her that he dropped his pocket knife and razor blade outside on the ground. Mobbs said she would get it for him and used the opportunity to go inside her car and lock the door. Before she could lock it, Galvez followed her and yanked the car door open. During this, Galvez continued to make suicidal statements. While Galvez was talking, Mobbs was able to lock the door. Galvez went back inside Mobbs’ apartment and returned with a bottle of Rosalie. As he did this, Mobbs called 911. Galvez then revealed a kitchen knife in his waistband and started walking toward the dumpster, where he acted like he was cutting his arm. In fear of violating her protection order, Mobbs remained inside her vehicle. Mobbs told officers that throughout the incident, Galvez claimed that he was going to call the police on her for violating her order of protection so she could do what he wanted.

Officers then went back to Galvez to speak with him about the incident. Galvez told officers he came over because he knew her door would be unlocked. Galvez continued to make suicidal statements to officers and medics, so he was transported to Skyline Hospital.

49-year-old Charles Williams Hendricks drove his black Chevy Malibu without headlights, traveling northbound on Gallatin Pike South in the early hours of March 23rd. Police observed this and followed Hendricks as he got into the left lane to turn onto Old Hickory Boulevard West. When officers got behind Hendricks, he changed lanes as if he were trying to avoid them. This prompted officers to conduct a traffic stop near Gallatin Pike North and Williams Avenue. Officers approached the driver’s side and noticed Hendricks seemed disoriented and showed multiple signs of impairment. When officers asked him about the plastic wrapper he had stuffed in his door handle, he quickly grabbed it and tried to hide it in his center console. Police then requested an ARIDE-certified officer to assist with the traffic stop, during which Hendricks had several mood swings, where he went from angry to laughing to crying to being sleepy. Hendricks consented to sobriety tests and performed poorly, nearly falling asleep while standing up. Hendricks then refused to provide a sample after being informed of implied consent, so officers took him for a mandatory blood draw. Hendricks was found to have a gram of cocaine in a wadded-up dollar bill in his right shoe as well as his two-year-old son sitting in an unsecured car seat. Additionally, officers found a straw with drug residue in his car.
