31-year-old Josiah Parks was loading chemical containers into a U-Haul truck near lot nine at Vanderbilt University on the afternoon of March 13th. VUPD arrived and observed Parks running back and forth between the sidewalk and the U-Haul, repeatedly throwing a jug of water into the air. Then, Parks ran off towards the Free Electron Laser Center as officers identified themselves. When officers commanded Parks to stop, he refused. Once officers caught up to Parks, they noticed his eyes were bloodshot. When asked, Parks did not have a legitimate reason to be on the property, nor did he have consent to take the property from the owners. Parks was taken into custody for resisting arrest, criminal trespassing, and public intoxication.

Christopher Gainous jumps fence into Vanderbilt Stadium, attempts to headbutt Vandy fans
35-year-old Christopher Kyle Gainous was escorted out of Vanderbilt Stadium Saturday night after police say he jumped the fence and didn’t have a ticket to the game. He was told to leave the property and not return while he was screaming and yelling at Vanderbilt fans. After being escorted out, he re-entered the stadium and was part of a group that was attempting to run across the football field at approximately 8:30 p.m. As he was placed into cuffs, he continued to be disorderly and attempted to headbutt another Vanderbilt fan. Officers say he “reeked of alcohol” during their interaction.
