Nathan Lipe was at Jason Aldean’s bar Saturday night when he believed he saw one of his friends. He attempted to gain the man’s attention by tapping him on his upper back. The man, who turned out o be 52-year-old tourist Kevin Blair, was not the friend he believed him to be. In response to the tap on the back, Blair turned without delay and punched Lipe in the face twice, sending him to the hospital for his injuries. Blair initially told police he punched the man for grabbing his wife’s buttocks, but complete video of their interaction proved that allegation to be untrue. Blair was taken into custody and charged with assault and disorderly conduct.
Kevin Michael Blair of Old Mackelsfield Ct in Carrollton, VA, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 13th, charged with assault and disorderly conduct. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $5,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
