40-year-old Paulina Slawinska had a domestic incident with the father of her child, Tomar Minuskin, at the Old Hickory Boulevard Target on April 14th. On April 22nd, Minuskin reported the occurrence to Family & Children Services (FCS). When officers arrived at Target on April 14th, they spoke with Minuskin while additional deputies met Slawinska near Ascension Saint Thomas Medical on Old Hickory Boulevard. They were told that Minuskin and Slawinska previously dated, shared a child, and had no parenting plan, only a document drafted by an attorney outlining custody exchanges. Minuskin stated he and Slawinska were meeting at Target to exchange their son. He said he picked him up and, while placing him in his vehicle, refused to speak to Slawinska, which his attorney advised him to do. Minuskin stated this made Slawinska angry, and she told him that she would take their child back if he did not talk to her.
Slawinska grabbed their son from the backseat and tried to put him in her car, during which she threw him on the pavement while in his car seat. NFD later arrived and confirmed that the child was unharmed. Then, Minuskin said she pushed him twice with her cell phone in her hand, prompting him to step back. Minuskin then raised his hands because he felt he had been assaulted due to her shoving him hard. Then, Slawinska entered her vehicle and tried to drive away, but Minuskin stood in front of it, blocking her from leaving. Slawinska responded by driving into him slowly several times until he moved out of the way. Slawinska then went to Saint Thomas Medical and called 911, but officers determined that Minuskin did not commit an assault. Slawinska was deemed the primary aggressor, and a warrant was obtained for her arrest. Slawinska was taken into custody for domestic assault on April 28th.
Paulina W Slawinska of Lausanne Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 26th, charged with domestic assault. She is free on a $1,000 bond.
