An Arizona police officer was arrested on multiple charges in downtown Nashville on Wednesday night.
Timothy Reed Merrill, age 32, was charged with assault, vandalism and public intoxication.
A
police affidavit said Merrill, who was in town for training, had caused
issues at Dixieland Delights on Broadway and then allegedly punched the
front window of the store. The employee told officers that Merrill had
been asked to leave the store because he was harassing a cashier and
became disorderly.
He was detained outside a bar along Broadway
after security there came to help. The affidavit said Merrill tried to
run from a security officer and fell down. While the security officer
tried to handcuff him, Merrill allegedly kicked the man in the head.
Once police took him into custody, they smelled alcohol and noticed he had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech.
Merrill’s bond was set at $8,000.
