63-year-old Tommie Terry Fiffer inappropriately touched Keelan Guthrie while he was working on March 16th. Guthrie alerted the authorities and advised them that while he was engaged in his duties, he was approached from behind by a man, later identified as Fiffer. He further explained that Fiffer placed one hand on his shoulder and, with his other hand, grabbed his buttocks. Guthrie said he had not consented to this and found it highly offensive. Guthrie took a photo of Fiffer as he walked away. The photo showed a man wearing a blue hat, blue shirt, and blue pants with black and white tennis shoes. Guthrie then filed a police report and advised that he did not know the man’s name but had seen him on previous occasions and believed he was homeless.
On March 21st, officers observed Fiffer near 3rd Avenue South and Broadway, wearing the same outfit from Guthrie’s photograph. Fiffer identified himself with his Tennessee Identification card. Guthrie was unable to identify him in a photo line-up, but detectives were able to identify him after reviewing body-worn camera footage. Fiffer was then taken into custody on April 8th for sexual battery.
Tommie Terry Fifer was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 8th, charged with sexual battery. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $15,000.
