29-year-old Taylor Rose Wackrow had a domestic altercation with her boyfriend, Robert Todd Gant, at their Towne Nashville Apartment on Garfield Street late April 6th. Gant alerted the authorities, and they were dispatched to Rosa Parks Boulevard. Upon arrival, officers noticed his shirt had been shredded and that he had a visible two-inch scratch on his left elbow. Gant refused medical attention, advised officers that he and Wackrow were at dinner, and argued over the check. Once they got back to their apartment, their argument continued. Gant stated that Wackrow was recording him, which upset him, so he grabbed her phone and entered the kitchen. While in the kitchen, he said she grabbed a large steak knife and started swinging it at him and chasing him around, shredding his shirt. Gant added that he was afraid for his life as he ran away from Wackrow. Officers then went to their apartment and spoke to Wackrow, who corroborated his statement, adding she grabbed the knife in “self-defense.” However, Wackrow could not explain how she was defending herself while she was chasing him. Wackrow then showed officers the knife she used to cut Gant’s shirt. Wackrow was taken into custody for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
