On April 15th, 38-year-old Brian Barrett was involved in a domestic incident with his juvenile son at their Seifried Street home. Officers arrived on the scene and spoke with his son. He stated Barrett had struck him in the back, which caused a verbal argument between the two. The argument then turned physical after Barrett threw a beer can at him. The juvenile then stated that Barrett started punching him in the face and backed him into a corner. This led to another physical altercation between the two, where the juvenile punched Barrett in the face. Barrett then got on top of the juvenile, pulled his hair, bit him on his arm, and punched him multiple times. Officers then spoke with a witness, who reported that the verbal disagreement started because Barrett thought his son was “being disrespectful.” She also stated that she did not know who threw the first punch. Officers also spoke with Barrett, who stated that he and his son went outside to walk the dog, and he was punched multiple times. Barrett stated he did not remember anything besides being punched numerous times. Officers deemed Barrett to be the primary aggressor, and he was taken into custody for domestic assault. Barrett also had a similar domestic assault incident in December 2023.
Brian R Barrett of Seifried Street in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 16th, charged with domestic assault. He is free on a $2,500 bond.
