29-year-old Joshua Haines was caught trespassing and acting disorderly at Honky Tonk Central near Broadway on May 26th. When officers arrived, they spoke with a group of males, telling them they needed to leave the premises. Haines asked officers why they were being kicked out of the bar. Officers explained that they were no longer welcome and could be asked at any point for any reason. Officers were then informed that one of the males was possibly armed before asking Haines if he was armed. Haines evaded the question, stating it was not illegal to carry a weapon. Officers then told Haines that it was illegal to carry if you were intoxicated or in a bar that had a “No Weapons Allowed” sign. Officers then conducted a pat down of all the males. Haines did not have a firearm but continued arguing with officers. Haines was asked to leave again, in which he ignored officers once more. Haines then reached into his pocket, took his hand back out, and pointed it towards officers with a finger gun motion, saying, “Yes, I have this.” Officers then took Haines into custody, charging him with disorderly conduct.
Joshua Derek Haines was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 26th, charged with disorderly conduct. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $500.
