41-year-old Erin O’Connell was involved in a domestic altercation with his roommate, Erika Covac, at their Hickory Brook Drive residence on July 11th. Officers spoke with O’Connell over the phone, and she told them she wanted Covac to leave her house. When officers arrived on the scene, they spoke to Covac, who stated that O’Connell had grabbed her wrist, causing an injury. Officers observed the injury; however, Covac denied any medical treatment. Officers then spoke with O’Connell, who stated that Covac had been living there since March but had not paid any rent and was not on the lease. O’Connell told officers that she wanted Covac out of the house and physically grabbed her. While speaking with officers, she admitted to assaulting Covac, saying, “I know I should not have done that.” Officers then determined O’Connell to be the primary aggressor, and she was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Erin O’Connell was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 12th, charged with domestic assault. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $1,000.
