57-year-old Howard Maurice Lawson had a domestic incident with his wife, Etrenda Alston, at their Greens Circle Cypress Creek apartment on May 11th. When officers arrived, Alston advised them that she and Lawson argued, during which he pulled out a machete, causing her to fear for her life and call the police. Lawson told officers that he did pull out the machete during the argument, but only to clean it, not to harm “his wife of 30 years of marriage.” Officers asked him where he put the weapon, to which he said he “got rid of it.” Lawson was taken into custody for domestic assault.
Howard Maurice Lawson was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 11th, charged with domestic assault. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,000.
