26-year-old Kyra Nykole Lewis was taken into custody for vehicular assault, interference with a 911 call, driving without a valid license, failure to file a report, false report, and failure to render aid on May 25th. Around 5:24 a.m., Lewis called the police at the 1310 Plaza on Antioch Pike regarding her stolen vehicle. When officers arrived, she approached them with Kaya Johnson, who stated she needed an ambulance, believing her clavicle may have been broken. During this, officers were notified of a nearby car accident, where occupants of the involved car could not be located. Then, officers spoke with Lewis, who advised them that her gray Kia Forte had been stolen and that she still had the keys. She went with Johnson to the hospital, during which deputies discovered that Johnson called them regarding a car crash on Jansing Drive. At the hospital, Lewis continued stating her Forte had been stolen, adding that she would never drive due to her being “heavily intoxicated.” Then, officers followed up with Johnson, who told them that she and Lewis were leaving After-Hours nightclub when she swerved to avoid an animal and struck a parked car, resulting in her injury. She said she watched Lewis take four shots of liquor before leaving the club. After the crash, when Johnson tried to call 911 for services, Lewis forced her to hang up. Then, Johnson stated Lewis interfered when she tried to redial the police. Johnson said Lewis told her that she was going to call the police and report her car stolen to avoid repercussions for her colliding with another vehicle while drunk. When officers returned to the lobby with the information, Lewis ran out, got into a car, and left the hospital. Officers later confirmed that Johnson had broken her clavicle.
Kyra Nykole Lewis of Cabot Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 25th, charged with vehicular assault, interference with emergency call, no driver’s license, failure to file report, failure to give information, and false report. She is free on a $7,500 bond.
