23-year-old Cameron Nicole Lee had an altercation with Leah Garcia, an employee, at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in the early hours of August 22nd. When officers arrived, the establishment’s staff provided them with video footage showing another involved individual, identified as Ayesha Battle, hitting Garcia with a glass bottle twice. Then, the police placed Ayesha into custody for the incident. After this, Lee approached their patrol car and opened the door, attempting to let Ayesha out.
Officers acquired video proof of Lee opening the door. Lee then admitted to opening the door, and officers were informed that employees witnessed it as well. When officers rewatched the video of the attack inside the bar, they noticed that Lee grabbed ahold of Garcia’s hair, trying to pull her off of Ayesha. During their interaction, officers noticed Lee reeked of alcohol and showed signs of intoxication, so they detained her for the occurrence. Lee was taken into custody for assault, facilitation to escape custody, public intoxication, and disorderly conduct.
Cameron Nicole Lee was booked into Metro Nashville Jail on August 22nd, charged with assault, disorderly conduct, public intoxication and facilitation to escape custody. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $10,000.
