26-year-old Darius Xavier Harris was a Margaritaville in downtown Nashville Friday night with female companions and a gun tucked into a holster on his waistband. Throughout the night, Harris indulged in the use of narcotics and alcohol, and as they were leaving the venue, one of the women took his gun from him and secured it in her possession due to his level of intoxication. A concerned citizen had observed Harris with the gun and contacted police, who arrived to find them on the sidewalk. As they secured the weapon, Harris became increasingly intoxicated and appeared to be overdosing. He was treated with Narcan and became coherent again. Officers attempted to issue him a citation, but he refused to sign it.
Darius Xavier Harris of S Grand Ave in Bradley Beach, IL, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 5th and charged with public intoxication and possession of a weapon while under the influence. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $4,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
