30-year-old Dayne Dewayne Barnett had a domestic incident with the mother of his child, Kaylia Weiters, at her Hobson Pike apartment around 9 p.m. on May 2nd. Weiters alerted the authorities, advising them that Barnett came to drop their daughter off, during which an argument ensued because he thought she was seeing another man. During the dispute, he grabbed her $1,500 iPhone 15 Pro Max out of her hand and threw it onto the pavement, causing it to shatter and break before leaving. Weiters showed officers messages from Barnett on their daughter’s iPad, where he stated, “You’re the one who provoked me,” after she asked about her phone. Then, he sent another message, saying, “Tell the court what caused the altercation that caused your phone to be broken.” She did not wish to press charges, but officers did on her behalf.
Then, after the occurrence, Barnett refused to pay for Weiters iPhone, so she drove to his Arlene Drive residence to confront him about it. When she got there, she messaged him, but he did not respond. So Weiters entered his home and took his laptop before going on a trip on May 3rd. On May 5th, she returned and discovered that she had property missing from her apartment, including 3-4 $200 bottles of cologne, a juicer, an air fryer, and some of her medical documents. A neighbor provided Weiters with footage from their ring camera, showing Barnett outside Weiters’ door around 11:26 p.m. on May 3rd. Weiters showed the police Barnett’s messages about the incident, which said, “I took everything back to take out of my house.” The messages included a photo of her medical paperwork. Then, Weiters stated that he also sent her a voice message saying he had taken the cologne, thinking it belonged to the man she was seeing and the juicer because he had gifted it to her years ago. Then, Weiters added that on May 5th, she heard a loud noise on her apartment porch, so she ran outside and noticed Barnett’s vehicle driving away with her missing medical documents on her porch. Officers issued two warrants for his arrest on May 10th. Barnett was taken into custody for vandalism and aggravated burglary on June 3rd.
Dayne Dewayne Barnett of Arlene Drive in Lavergne, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 3rd, charged aggravated burglary and vandalism. He is free on a $5,000 bond.
