23-year-old Geovannie Rose was involved in a domestic altercation with his roommate, JonBenet Byrd, at a Pennington Avenue apartment on August 16th. On that day, Byrd reported to officers that her roommate threatened to break into the apartment. When the officers arrived on the scene, they spoke with Byrd, who claimed that Rose had threatened to kill her. She also said that the two had been arguing about Rose not paying the $100 he owed her for rent and utilities while he lived in the apartment. Byrd informed officers that when Rose told her he would not pay, she told him he would have to grab his personal belongings and leave the apartment. After this, Rose left the apartment. Byrd mentioned that she asked the apartment complex to change her locks because she no longer wanted Rose to access the apartment using his copy of the key.
When Rose returned, he started knocking on the door and demanded that he be allowed to retrieve his items. Byrd advised officers that she told Rose that she did not feel comfortable being alone with him in the apartment. Byrd then told him he would have to call the police to be present when he was gathering his items. Byrd then claimed that Rose began banging on the door and threatening her, saying, “Me gonna kill you!” and” Bitch, I’m going to kill you!” Byrd claims that because of this, she informed Rose that she was calling the police. Rose then walked off from the apartment before the police arrived. Byrd told officers she is uncomfortable with Rose being in the apartment, as he is violent and has assaulted her in the past. A warrant was later issued, and Rose was taken into custody for Domestic assault and violating an order of protection on August 17th.
Geovannie Rose was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 17th, charged with domestic assault and order of protection violation. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,500.
