30-year-old fast-action photographer Tanner Yeager was jailed in Nashville early Sunday morning after reportedly kicking a Metro Nashville Police officer in the groin on Broadway in downtown Nashville. Officers initially responded to the call of Yeager being disorderly at a downtown venue, where he was being detained by security. When police arrived, he kicked his leg straight behind him and struck the responding officer directly in the groin. He was then taken to the ground and placed in a hobble restraint. He continued to be “unruly with police” en route to booking, according to the arrest report.
