Sameer told responding officers that he and Payman argued over family issues. He added that during the dispute, they were pushing each other. Then, when the police spoke with Nirwan Atam, Sameer and Payman’s son, he was visibly frightened and expressed urgency for his dad to leave.
Then, Nirwan advised officers that Sameer started screaming over a minor issue before dragging Payman by her hair. Payman, who had fled to the exterior part of the residence, disclosed to police officers that she and Sameer argued over financial matters. Then, she reported that Sameer pushed her and pulled her by her hair down the hallway. The police report stated Payman declined counseling and did not want to press charges. However, she was interested in obtaining an order of protection against him. Sameer Nazmi was deemed the primary aggressor and was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Sameer S. Nazmi of Hickory Hollow Place in Antioch, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 4th, charged with domestic assault. He is free on a $2,000 bond.
