23-year-old Makayla Usher struck a security officer, Emad Kamil, with her brown Nissan Altima at the Tennessee State University Campus late August 6th. The police report stated that Usher attempted to enter the campus through the Alameda Street and 33rd Avenue North intersection but was denied entry because she needed to provide proper identification. Then, Usher continued to enter the premises and parked her vehicle in the Eppse parking lot. While officers were investigating, Kamil gave them a description of Usher’s vehicle. At this point, they noticed Usher driving towards them, so Kamil stepped out and signaled her to stop.
However, Usher disregarded his commands and hit him with her vehicle. Then, officers tried conducting a traffic stop on Usher. Despite this, she refused to stop and proceeded to speed off on Alameda Street and Albion Street, out of their view. The police later discovered that Usher’s license had been suspended. A warrant was obtained for her arrest on August 7th. Usher was taken into custody for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless driving, evading arrest by motor vehicle, and driving with a suspended license on August 8th.
Makayla Javon Usher of Charles Court in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 8th, charged with aggravated assault, evading arrest, and reckless driving. She is free on a $5,000 bond.
