Nelson Tut Gutz found passed out with knife after threatening his roommate

20-year-old Nelson Tut Gutz arrived at his apartment intoxicated and started an argument with his roommate, Emerson Fernandolriarte-Calderon, on August 5. Nelson stated that he did not like Emerson because he was from Honduras. He also said that Nelson punched him in the face, which the officers noted swelling under his right eye. Nelson then grabbed a large kitchen knife (approximately six inches) and aggressively approached Emerson. Emerson said that Nelson followed him outside while still holding the knife and said, “I’ll be waiting for you with a knife.” He was standing outside the complex shirtless and shoeless as he spoke to the police because he said he was afraid to return to the apartment.

Police found Nelson asleep at the kitchen table with a knife within arm’s reach and nothing else to suggest the usage of a knife. They removed the knife and woke Nelson to ask him about the situation. He initially stated that he did not know anything of an incident between him and Emerson. Intoxicated, he told police that he had no idea why they were called and made comments that did not pertain to the situation. After police rephrased the questions for the translator whom Nelson spoke to via a cellphone, he said he remembered the altercation and was “calm now.” Nelson admitted to grabbing the knife but did not answer if he remembered the threat he made with it. He finally gave the police his driver’s license after some miscommunications and was placed into custody.

29-year-old Ryan Christopher Taugher was jailed in Nashville early Wednesday morning for the domestic assault of his social media influencer girlfriend, McKinli Hatch. There was an initial argument Tuesday night after Ryan became intoxicated and reportedly hit McKinli. She says he then tossed her clothes around the home and threw a piece of frozen candy at her. Still intoxicated, Ryan then threw a glass bottle at McKinli, which shattered across her buttocks, causing injuries and bleeding. She ran outside and called 911 and stated she had been hit and was being chased, but seconds later, he grabbed the phone and disconnected the call.

Officers responded to the hang-up call, but Ryan pulled her into the bushes, where they successfully hid from officers. The officers knocked on the door, but no one responded, so they pulled around the corner. Once they left the immediate area, he escorted her back into the home and threw her into a room. Due to their past, she was afraid she would be assaulted if she attempted to leave. He then made her text her family and tell them she was OK, as she had previously texted them for help.

41-year-old James Casey was jailed on May 28th after throwing a cooking pot at his girlfriend’s face during an argument at their home on Autumn Drive. Police responded and spoke with Shelley Moore, who said she and Casey were in the garage arguing, and she became agitated, so she threw a chair to the ground and headed back inside. According to Moore, as she was closing the door, she saw Casey grab the red cooking pot, and she knew he was going to throw it at her, but she didn’t shut the door fast enough.

Police observed a large dent in the pot, and the handle was broken. Moore had a large knot above her right eye and a small cut above her left.

In honor of Jerry Springer, meet Christian Gregory.

23-year-old Christian Gregory was booked this week for getting into a fight with Kelodjah Holt after she confronted Christian about sleeping with her ex-boyfriend and brother, Kelodjah Holt. A male called in on the line whispering about people being in his apartment that shouldn’t be. Police responded to Green Circle in Goodlettsville and spoke with Christian and her sisters, Talissa Gregory, and Shamaree Ramsey. Christian had just been in a fight with Kelodjah, who also lived in the apartment complex. Kelodjah found out that Christian had been sleeping with her ex-boyfriend and her brother, so she went to Christian’s apartment to confront her, and the argument turned into a fight.

During the fight, Christian grabbed a kitchen knife in self-defense, but Shamaree knocked it out of her hands and separated the two. Kelodjah ran to get back to her apartment, and Christian got in Shamaree’s car to follow her. Talissa ran after Christian but lost sight of her as she drove off. Talissa believed that Christian was hiding and waiting for an opportunity to attack Kelodjah, but it was later discovered that she circled the complex and went back to her apartment to grab another knife.

Christian pulled up to Kelodjas’s apartment and exited the car screaming, “I’m going to kill you b$*ch.” Christian slashed Kelodjah’s front passenger’s tire and then scratched her car with a knife. She then lunged at her while swinging the knife in her direction. Kelodjah told police that she feared for her life, and her claims were corroborated by Talissa and Shamaree. Officers found a broken knife blade lying on the hood of Kelodjah’s car and a knife handle sitting in the center console of Shamaree’s car, confirming that Christian used the knife.
