34-year-old Deonte Montez Morris caused a disturbance near Nashville Downtown Partnership on the afternoon of May 14th. Officers were flagged down by an unidentified male regarding Morris yelling and getting in his face. Officers observed him approaching aggressively and trying to start a fight, so they told him to leave multiple times, but he refused. Then, Morris started screaming at them before appearing as if he was leaving and returning, where he reapproached officers and threw a loaf of bread onto the ground. The bag broke open, and the bread flew all over the sidewalk. Officers told Morris to pick up the slices, but he disregarded their commands and was taken into custody for littering and disorderly conduct.
