33-year-old Shane Martin was seen starting a fight with someone outside of Honky Tonk Central on June 29th. Officers were flagged down by Honky Tonk Central security to assist in the situation. As officers approached the location, the individual pointed out Martin at the corner of Broadway and 4th Avenue South. Officers went to Martin, who tried to pretend that he was playing with the vendor. When officers told Martin that he had to leave because of the several complaints he had, Martin became belligerent, saying, ” fuck you! You ain’t a real cop.” Martin proceeded to shove officers. Martin then made his way to the Honky Tonk Central, where he was stopped by security and handcuffed on one hand. Martin had to be taken to the ground to be completely handcuffed due to his violently resisting. While cuffing Martin, officers observed the strong smell of alcohol coming from his person.
Martin was then taken into custody and transported to booking. During the drive to booking, Martin threatened to kill the arresting officer, Officer Beaudu’s children, multiple times. After arriving, Martin continued being uncooperative by yelling and cursing at officers and staff. Staff came to see if they could check Martin’s temperature for their process. During this, Officer Diesel stood Martin up to assist him because of his level of intoxication. As Officer Diesel grabbed Martin’s arm, Martin grabbed the back of his head and then headbutted him. When officers restrained Martin, he continued to make threats of violence to Officer Diesel. Shane Martin was charged with 2 counts of assault of an officer, resisting arrest, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct.
Shane A. Martin of Old Franklin Rd in Antioch, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 30th, charged with two counts of assault of an officer, resisting arrest, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct. He is free on a $15,001 bond.
