31-year-old Erina Lyn Clark had an incident with her roommate, Dana Robert Genest, at their Village Hills apartment on April 7th. On April 10th, Genest called the police. When they arrived, he told them that he and Clark argued over him not wanting to buy her alcohol. During their argument, Clark became aggressive, hitting and kicking Genest while wearing steel-toe boots. This left significant bruising and discoloration on his arm. Genest stated he waited a few days to notify the police because he did not want her to get in trouble. Genest added that his injuries became more severe after waiting due to swelling. Officers previously responded to the same incident but on Clark’s behalf. Officers could not make contact with Genest at the time, so they based their probable cause on Clark’s injuries. Due to Genest’s more severe injuries, officers attempted to prosecute on his behalf. Clark was taken into custody for domestic assault on April 15th.
Erina Lyn Clark of village Hills Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 15th, charged with domestic assault. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $2,000.
