Man Arrested for Assaulting First Responders
21 Dec
Summary
- Individual faces multiple charges including domestic assault.
- Charges include assaulting a first responder and resisting arrest.
- Previous aggravated assault charge led to a $1.7 million lawsuit.
An individual was apprehended by the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office on Saturday evening and subsequently booked into the county's adult detention center. The charges filed against him are extensive, encompassing domestic assault, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, three counts of assaulting a first responder, and resisting arrest.
Further complicating the situation are three charges for retaliation, suggesting potential harm or threats against an individual based on past actions. The sheriff's office has withheld specific details regarding the exact circumstances leading to these charges. This is not the individual's first encounter with law enforcement.
Approximately one year prior, he was arrested for aggravated assault. However, he has since initiated a lawsuit against Rutherford County and two sheriff's deputies, seeking $1.7 million for what he claims was an unjust arrest. Attempts to reach his attorney for comment have thus far been unsuccessful.
