32-year-old Malachi Nelson was taken into custody on June 18th for vandalism. Officers responded to a robbery alarm at the Lebanon Pike US Bank. When they arrived, they located Nelson walking toward the entrance of the closed bank. Officers found the damaged ATM door, which initially triggered the notification to the police. They also noticed the lower keylock door had been pried open. Then, officers discovered a large rock near the ATM. US Bank employees provided officers with footage of the occurrence, showing Nelson standing near the ATM for several minutes. Nelson then grabbed a knife from his pocket and opened its exterior door. After this, Nelson walked to the grass, picked up a rock, and started hitting the safe. After multiple unsuccessful attempts, he started walking to the front door. Nelson was then detained for the incident.
Malachi Nelson of Old Hickory Boulevard in Hermitage, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 18th, charged with vandalism. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
