30-year-old Michael Smith was involved in a domestic altercation with his girlfriend, Bailey Borders, at her Lenore Street apartment on July 29th. When officers arrived, they reported that Smith was so intoxicated that he was incomprehensible. Borders told officers that when she attempted to break up with Smith, he punched a hole in her apartment door. Smith then punched Borders in the face with a towel wrapped around his hand, causing no injury.
Eventually, Smith left the apartment, but he continued to lurk outside and refused to leave. Another woman, Borders’ friend and witness of the incident, later got into an altercation with Smith. During the altercation, she was bitten by Smith while she was trying to restrain him until police arrived. Once officers came into contact with Smith, an arrest search was conducted, and it was found that he had a sandwich bag of Magic Mushrooms in his backpack. Smith was later taken into custody and charged with domestic assault and vandalism.
Michael Smith was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 29th, charged with domestic assault and vandalism. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $4,000.
