27-year-old Jaleel Love Boyce showed up on the front porch of the mother of his child, Emilia Baird. He was pacing back and forth, demanding to be let inside. Prior to his arrival, he texted her that he was coming over, and she replied ‘no’ multiple times. Despite the denial, he arrived, paced, and banged on the door while demanding to be let inside. Video footage of the incident shows him shoulder-checking the door, stating, “I will break the door down, I will get in at all costs, I will go to jail over this!” Baird states she was in fear for her safety and the safety of her child. Officers arrived and took him into custody, charging him with domestic assault/fear of bodily injury.

Actors say Clarksville’s Roxy Theatre Director Ryan Bowie harassed, stalked, touched without consent
An actor at the Roxy Regional Theatre in Clarksville says he and a dozen others have been victims of harassment and inappropriate conduct by Director Ryan Bowie for at least the past year, with some complaints going back much further. In January, after several actors detailed formal complaints, the theatre’s Board of Directors & the Executive Committee admitted “mistakes have been made” and determined that Bowie, along with other staff, would enroll in “extensive HR training,” and someone on-site would be trained as an “Intimacy Choreographer.” Additionally, an HR Director would be appointed. Now that the city is directly involved with the theatre and its liability, the actors, and some city council members, are still concerned about ongoing issues at the downtown Clarksville landmark and are calling for action — they want Bowie removed as the Executive Director, weary of several lawsuit threats involving his actions.
