24-year-old Isaiah Benton Woods had an altercation with his friend, Tia Jamison, at her Flintlock Court residence on May 30th. When officers arrived, they spoke with Jamison, who was hysterical and visibly beaten. Jamison advised officers that Woods had been with her when she dropped her car off at the mechanic several days ago. Jamison told officers that she recently found out he had gone back without her, picked up the car, and drove it around. After discovering this, she tracked Woods’s location to a Donelson Pike tobacco store, where she confronted him, sparking an argument. During the argument, Woods allowed Jamison to get her car back. Then, she said, when she got into the driver’s seat, the window was still down, and Woods threw a marinara sauce cup at her face as she attempted to leave. Jamison told officers her car was push-to-start, so when she pulled off, Woods still had her keys, which included her house keys. After returning home, she said she noticed Woods and his baby mama pulling up in their GMC pickup truck before exiting it and running up to her outside steps. Jamison said that Woods aimed a small handgun at her, demanding the keys to another vehicle she kept at her house. When she did not comply, he started punching her repeatedly before putting her in a headlock and yelling, “I am a security guard, and you have got me f*cked up!” Jamison said Woods was “Choking me with all of his strength” and threw her down the stairs, causing her to land in the driveway. She then tried to enter her car and flee, but he chased her and continued to punch and “choke” her. This continued until Woods’ baby mama said, “It is time to go. She has had enough.” A witness provided officers with footage corroborating Jamison’s statement. The police verified Woods’ identity via an old Facebook picture that Jamison showed them. Then, a warrant was issued for his arrest that day. Woods was taken into custody for aggravated assault on June 4th.
Isaiah Benton Woods was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 4th, charged with aggravated assault. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $10,000.
