18-year-old Steven Jay Teem III had a domestic altercation with his father, Steven Jay Teem Jr., at their 50th Avenue North residence around 11 p.m. on April 30th. When officers arrived, Teem III was outside of the residence, where he told them he and Teem Jr. argued regarding the cleanliness of his bedroom, which escalated when he pushed him twice, once to the ground and then against a wall, leaving a minor cut on his right leg and an abrasion to his right arm. He said he responded by punching Teem Jr. in self-defense. Then, the police spoke with Teem Jr., Teem III’s stepmother, Tiffney Teem, and stepbrother, Ryan Mills, who made similar statements, saying Teem Jr. was attempting to take Teem III’s keyboard away for not obeying the house rules, during which Teem III started punching him repeatedly, leaving a bruise and two dark-red scratch marks on his torso, a bruise around his left eye, and a cut on his nose. Teem Jr. said he pushed him in self-defense after being struck multiple times. Teem III was deemed the primary aggressor and then was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Steven J Teem of 50th Avenue North in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 1st, charged with domestic assault. He is free on a $1,000 bond.
