32-year-old Carlos Mickens had a domestic incident with his girlfriend, Erica Owens, at their Larkin Springs Road residence in the early hours of July 18th. Owens told responding officers that Mickens returned home intoxicated around 3 a.m. and went inside her mother’s bedroom to lie down. She stated that after Mickens got into the bed, she asked him where her keys were, which he disregarded and turned around, facing away from her. When he rolled over, Owens saw the keys hanging out of his pocket, took them, and returned to her room. After this, Mickens came to her door asking about the vehicle keys, and she told him that she would not give him the keys because he was drunk. Then, Owens heard him go outside, followed by what sounded like glass shattering. Once she heard this, Mickens came inside the house and yelled, “I got something for you!” Owens then explained that she heard him grab her phone from the living room table and throw it. She added that after the occurrence, Mickens went to his room and went to sleep. When she retrieved her phone, she noticed the back was busted and later discovered her passenger side window had been damaged. When officers spoke with Mickens, he stated he did not remember doing anything she alleged. During their interaction, he reeked of alcohol and was detained. Mickens was then taken into custody for vandalism.
Carlos Mickens of Donelson Pike in Nashville, TN was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 18th, charged with vandalism. He is free on a $2,000 bond.
