31-year-old Atelya Brown was involved in a domestic altercation with her boyfriend, Rojee Salmon, at their Waterford Crossings apartment on August 6th. When officers arrived, Salmon informed them that Brown had already left after drinking and getting violent with him. Salmon stated that Brown grabbed his wrist, causing visible scratch marks, and threw things across the apartment. While Brown was being aggressive, she came from behind Salmon and bit him on his back. Salmon told officers he left the apartment so the incident wouldn’t wake their child. Despite this, Brown continued the altercation and pushed her forearm against his neck. Salmon’s brother, seeing this, intervened and stopped the assault.
When officers spoke with Salmon’s brother, who lives with the couple, he stated that he saw Brown bite Salmon, be aggressive with him, and throw items across the apartment. While officers were speaking to Salmon and his brother, Brown returned visibly intoxicated. This prompted officers to question her about the incident. When officers attempted to ask her what happened, she only told them that Salmon had been aggressive with her and would elaborate further. Due to the visible injuries on Salmon, as well as the statements given by him and his brother, Brown was taken into custody for domestic assault on August 7th.
Atelya M. Brown of Old Franklin Road in Antioch, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 7th, charged with domestic assault. She is free on a $100 bond.
