22-year-old Ephraim Ngandu danced in the middle of the roadway as traffic sped around him on Bell Road in the early hours of June 5th. Officers observed this and approached him before escorting him to the sidewalk. Officers noticed he had a black motorcycle helmet on his head, so they asked him about the black motorcycle without a license plate, which he claimed. Ngandu told officers he was not doing anything wrong and was making a YouTube video. Officers later discovered that his bike was not registered and advised him that it would be towed, so they tried to work with him by offering him a courtesy ride and letting him call his family and friends to pick him up, but he could not find anyone. Throughout their interaction, he lied about numerous things, including where he lived, how long he had been in Nashville, etc.  Since he could not find a place to go, Ngandu was taken into custody for disorderly conduct.

21-year-old Lathan Flores was observed erratically pulling into the TA Travel Center parking lot in the early morning of May 7th. Security at the location advised officers that he approached Flores, where he exited his vehicle and was told to stay out of it while he called the police. When officers arrived, security pointed Flores out and told them he had seen open alcohol containers in his car.

Officers spoke with Flores, who smelled strongly of alcohol and showed signs of impairment as he admitted to drinking a “glass and a half of wine” after driving recklessly through the parking lot because he was upset about his relationship. Officers noticed a glass of wine in his center console and an open box of wine in the vehicle. He consented to sobriety tests, performed poorly, and, after being read implied consent, agreed to provide a blood sample.

Flores’ passenger was sober and told officers that he told him to bring the box of wine from the back of the vehicle to the front, during which he noticed it was not full. He stated that he did not witness him drink before driving. Flores was transported to Nashville General Hospital and then was taken into custody for driving under the influence and an open container violation.

Staff Reports

26-year-old Leah Everett was involved in a domestic altercation with her girlfriend, Feleecia Morland, at Old Franklin Road on April 7th. When officers arrived, they contacted Morland, who had a chunk of hair missing from the left side of her head. Morland stated while she and Everett were driving down Murfreesboro Pike, Everett became agitated with her driving. This led to a brief argument that escalated to Everett hitting Morland and pulling out her hair. Everett then took off her shoes and began hitting Morland with them. They arrived at their apartment complex shortly after, so Morland parked the car and swiftly exited. Morland approached a man she saw walking his dog and asked him to call 911. While Morland was walking away, Everett switched to the driver’s seat and drove away with Morland’s vehicle. Morland stated that she did not wish to press charges, but officers deemed it necessary due to her injuries and statement. Officers found the stolen car and followed it into the AMC parking lot on Bell Road. Once Everett exited the vehicle, she was quickly detained. Everett stated that nothing happened and that she didn’t know why officers had followed her. Leah Everett was taken into custody and charged with domestic assault and motor theft.

Metro Nashville Police responded to the Hampton Inn at Opryland on August 27th after someone called to report a man actively assaulting who was believed to be his wife and strangling her. When officers arrived, 56-year-old Bradley Keith Olsen had already fled the scene.

It wasn’t long before that question was answered as an argument started in the bathroom over who would take her dog out. She says he assaulted her multiple time and then beat her with an iPad as she moved to the bed. Eventually, she says he pushed her against a wall and lifted her up by her neck, causing her problems breathing.
