40-year-old Cinda Kolemba was involved in a domestic incident with her mother, Cinda Smith, at their Bridle Drive residence on June 23rd. Before officers arrived, Smith told them that she and her daughter had an altercation. Cinda informed officers that during their argument, Kolemba made a suicidal statement, claiming she would kill herself with fentanyl. Out of concern for her daughter, Smith attempted to phone for help. This, however, led to Kolemba snatching the phone from her hand, causing a small cut on her right arm. When officers tried to speak with Kolemba, she hid behind her bedroom door and refused to come out. After making several additional attempts to get Smith to make a statement, officers got her to comply and exit the bedroom.
Kolemba denied ever taking her mother’s phone and stated that her argument with her mother never got physical. According to Kolemba, her mother was having a dementia episode and was making false statements about her using fentanyl. After more questions, Kolemba admitted that her mother’s phone was in her bedroom, but it was because Smith had thrown it at her. Officers then returned the phone to Smith after noticing a small cut on Kolemba’s nose bridge. When asked about it, Kolemba claims it came from her dog scratching her. While interacting with Kolemba, officers reported that they could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from Kolemba, as well as her appearing visually impaired. Once, officers questioned Kolemba about her drunkness, and she confessed to drinking wine and taking several medications before officers arrived. Due to the injuries sustained and the phone found in Kolemba’s room, Cinda Kolemba was deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Cinda Kolemba was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 23rd, charged with domestic assault. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $1,000.
