Shelly Sayles-Williams breaks daughter’s glasses in an argument over money

Diamond Cooper

39-year-old Shelly Sayles-Williams was jailed after assaulting her daughter after an argument about money. Police spoke with Miguela Bartley, who said she and her mother argued earlier in the day over money. The argument seemed to have calmed down, and they went their separate ways in the home. Later, Shelly came into her room and started throwing things around, smashing things, and telling her she had to leave the house. Miguela tried to push her mother out of the room, and that’s when Shelly scratched her face and broke her glasses. The fight stopped when Shelly’s husband entered the room and pulled her off her daughter. Miguela then called the police and waited out front of the apartment for them. Officers saw her scratched face and broken glasses and took pictures of the injuries.

Nashville Police jail Married Afghan refugee; take wife into DCS custody — Maseehullah Feda

Jason Steen

Metro Nashville Police initially responded to a 3rd party call about a domestic dispute early Tuesday morning. They met with 25-year-old Maseehullah Feda and his wife, who explained they were a married couple and were recently-arrived refugees from Afghanistan. As police were reviewing their provided and valid Employment Authorization cards they found the wife’s age to be 15. While allowable with permission in the country in which they were married (and also in Hawaii, Missouri, Montana, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire), police were not going to allow it in Tennessee.

Officers inquired about the sexual activities of the married couple, and they admitted they had sex within the past day, as they were married. Officer Paul Hughes took Feda into custody and charged him with felony statutory rape of his wife. Feda remains in jail, while his wife was removed from their home and taken into the custody of DCS.
