31-year-old State Representative Torrey Harris is free on a $2,000 cash bond after being jailed Sunday on charges of domestic assault and vandalism. Court records show his ex-boyfriend, Terence Nealy, reported Torrey scratched his arm during a bear hug while attempting to prevent him from leaving his own apartment while discussing their prior relationship while dropping off Terence’s dog, which he had been pet-sitting.

Police spoke to Representative Harris via phone and notified him he was on a bodycam recording; he then admitted to taking Terence’s dog but wanted to clarify all the other items he took were “gifts” he had bought for Terence.

Joshua Gupton identified via his fingerprints as home intruder
19-year-old Joshua Gupton was jailed this weekend on an outstanding warrant from June, charging him with aggravated criminal trespass. Metro Nashville Police initially responded to the home of Urjita Khera when she reported she was lying on her couch when she heard someone enter her residence through the side window of her home. When she stood up, it spooked the intruder, and they fled, closing the window behind them. Luckily, she had recently cleaned the windows, and investigators were able to pull a fresh set of prints from the glass. They came back to Joshua Upton, who had his spring on file from a juvenile arrest history of theft and residential burglaries. His home is only 1.2 miles from the victim’s residence, and her front door camera captures him walking up the front stairs and around the side of the home to the window.

Monae Ford lures ex-boyfriend outside to assault him, ransacks grandparent’s house
18-year-old Monae Ford was jailed this week on an outstanding warrant after she showed up at the home of the grandparents of her ex-boyfriend, Terry Waters, and lured him outside in May, where she hit and spit on him. She initially claimed she was pregnant when she arrived, but no one believed her, and everyone went about their day, so she then grabbed a brick and acted like she was going to damage the victim’s car, which caused him to exit the back door of the home and approach her. Ford took the opportunity to hit and spit on her ex-boyfriend and then run inside the unlocked back door and ransack a path to the front door, knocking over items along the way before fleeing again out the front door. Officers say she has an “extensive” domestic violence history, and they issued a warrant for her arrest.

Jaclyn LaGrow says her boyfriend of five months, 50-year-old Johnny Hurst, stopped his vehicle on the bridge of Old Hickory Blvd over I-65 as they were having an argument and kicked her out of the vehicle, physically pushing her out while yelling and screaming, leaving her stranded on the side of the road. About twenty minutes later, he returned to the location, and she began to gather her things from his vehicle.

He then snatched her phone and destroyed it. After he fled a second time, a concerned citizen transported her to a safe place to contact the police.
