28-year-old Brandon Anthony was involved in a domestic altercation with his brother, Torrance Anthony, at a Westboro Drive residence on June 17th. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Torrance, who told them that he and Brandon had gotten into a fight because he believed Brandon was going to assault him. Torrance claimed the two verbally argued about trash when he went into his room and closed the door. At this point, Brandon began kicking the door in an attempt to knock it down. Torrance then opened the door, assumed his brother was going to attack him, and put Brandon inside a headlock. Torrance and Brandon struggled throughout the home, fell to the ground, and separated. Officers observed damage to Torrance’s door, which was consistent with his statements. Officers then spoke with Brandon, who informed officers that the fight had started because Torrance had thrown trash in his room. Brandon stated this caused him to become angry and get into a fighting stance. Torrance responded to this by punching Brandon, which started the fight. Brandon also said that he did not remember anything after Torrance struck him. Officers then spoke with their father, William Anthony, who stated Torrance called him because Brandon was being violent but did not witness the assault. William told officers that he also saw Brandon break a vehicle window as well. Officers observed the injuries and deemed Brandon to be the primary aggressor, and he was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Brandon Anthony was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 18th, charged with domestic assault. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,000.
