20-year-old Christopher Free flagged down Metro Nashville Police Officers late Saturday night to report that he and a friend were visiting the Barstool Sports Bar when the bouncers confiscated their ID, believing they were fake. Free demanded that officers retrieve his ID card from the bar. Officers informed Free that they were happy to do so, but if the ID was actually fake, he would face criminal charges. Free continued to insist his ID was legitimate, and officers obliged by retrieving the Georgia driver’s license belonging to Free. Upon running the ID, which displayed Free’s name and photo, the number came back to an elderly woman. As he was confronted about the discrepancy, Free and his friend turned away from the police and attempted to flee the scene. His friend was successful, but officers tackled Free and took him into custody.
Christopher Bradley Free of Cather Ct in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on September 3rd, charged with false identification, possession or casual exchange, and resisting arrest. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,250, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
