34-year-old Robert Martin Douglas had a domestic incident with his ex-girlfriend, Rachel Semel, at her LC Germantown apartment on 2nd Avenue South in the early hours of May 10th. Officers arrived and spoke with the complainant, who stated that Semel and Douglas were on the way downstairs to meet with them. Then, officers separated the two and talked to Semel, who said she had been trying to break up with Douglas for about a month. Semel also added that Douglas still had a key to her apartment. She said Douglas had walked into the bedroom while she was in bed with a friend. Semel stated Douglas was upset by this and hit her in the face, leaving a bruise on the left side of her face. Officers then spoke with Douglas, who reeked of alcohol and admitted to drinking before telling officers that he had walked into her bedroom. Douglas stated when he tried to walk away, Semel got aggressive with him, so he hit her back. While speaking with the police, he said, “It does not matter no more what I do.” Douglas was deemed the primary aggressor and was then taken into custody for domestic assault.
Robert Martin Douglas of Cabot Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 10th, charged with domestic assault. He is free on a $200 bond.
