35-year-old Antonio Barrios had a domestic incident with his wife, Julie Rodriguez, inside the Margaritaville Hotel bar late July 26th. Responding officers spoke with Barrios and noticed he reeked of alcohol as he admitted to having a physical altercation with Rodriguez. Then, officers reviewed surveillance footage showing Barrios puffing out his chest and getting in Rodriguez’s face.
After this, Rodriguez slapped him in the face in self-defense, to which Barrios responded by punching her in the face. Then, officers spoke with Rodriguez, who was visibly intoxicated, and advised them that she remembered being punched in the face by Barrios. Barrios was then taken into custody for domestic assault.
Antonio Barrios of W Red Oak Road in Red Oak, TX, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 26th, charged with domestic assault. He is free on a $2,500 bond.
