39-year-old Carl Grimes was seen acting disorderly after refusing to leave and yelling at guests at the Hyve Condominium on 7th Avenue South on July 25th. Security reported to the officers that there was someone who refused to leave. They claimed that Grimes made his way into the lobby, and they escorted him out. Despite this, Grimes remained on the property and followed guests back inside. Security informed officers that Grimes refused to leave once he got back inside. When officers arrived on the scene, they made contact with Grimes, who met with officers at the door inside the lobby. Officers then ordered Grimes to leave, or he would be arrested for trespassing, but he refused to come out.
While speaking with Grimes, he turned around and began walking towards a group of women who had also called the police. Grimes then began yelling and cursing at them while taking a fighting stance. Grimes also began yelling and threatening security at the location. The officer believed Grimes would start a fight and become physical with the guests, so he was taken into custody. After being placed in handcuffs, Grimes was instructed to walk; however, he tensed up and refused to walk after repeated instructions. While being placed in the car, he picked up his left foot and put it on the side of the seat. Grimes did this to prevent officers from placing him inside the vehicle by pushing against the seat. In response to this, officers had to force Grimes into the car. Grimes was then transported and charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, and resisting arrest on July 26th.
Carl Lewis Grimes of Lafayette Street in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 25th, charged with trespassing. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $500.
