28-year-old Garth Brooks recently had a domestic altercation with his girlfriend and mother of his child, Kashawna Jordan, at her Southwood Park Place apartment. Before officers arrived, Kashawna’s sister observed Kashawna and Brooks scuffling and alerted police. Responding officers noticed signs of a struggle and discovered that Kashawna had left beforehand, so they interviewed everyone separately. Kashawna’s mother advised them that Kashawna and Brooks fought after arguing inside the apartment, during which she tried to stop them. After this, she said Kashawna ran outside, where Brooks followed, and by the time she caught up to them, Brooks was on top of her, striking her. Her mother added that Kashawna had left with an unknown friend for safety, and Brooks returned to the apartment. Brooks initially denied any physical contact with Kashawna but then admitted to chasing after her because he did not want her to leave. Then, Kashawna’s sister told officers that she called them after hearing the fight, which she briefly saw before it continued outside. Brooks was deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault on June 25th.
Garth Brooks was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 25th, charged with domestic assault. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,000.
