Soldier Bradley Cheek: “I’m 170 pounds of pure muscle, and if I wanted to, I could destroy you.”

21-year-old Fort Campbell Soldier Bradley Cheek was Jailed on April 22 for attacking his ex-girlfriend after she picked him up from Broadway and allowed him to stay the night. Mr. Cheek called his ex, Hannah Gibbs asking for a ride and a place to stay. When they arrived at Gibbs’ place, they started to argue, and she told Cheek to leave several times. Gibbs told police that he walked out of the bedroom, so she got up and locked the door behind him, but he threatened to “Kick the door down in 2 seconds.” She decided to open the door, and he whispered, “It was a good decision because I’m 170lbs of pure muscle, and if I wanted to, I could destroy you.”

Gibbs then turned her head away from Cheek, and he grabbed her by her neck with both hands until she started to cry, and he let go. When she tried to leave the bedroom, he put his hands on her face to stop her. Gibbs returned to her bed and tried to leave again, but Cheek picked her up and put her back on the bed. Gibbs said every time she tried to leave after that, he would pull her back by her hair as he stood in the doorway. Gibbs showed the police a video of Cheek blocking the bedroom doorway. We previously covered Cheek in July for the assault of his wife.

Street Racer Down: Jermarion Brown charged after fleeing from MNPD — $84K bond

20-year-old Jermarion Brown faces a cornucopia of charges as he remains jailed in lieu of an $84,000 bond Monday. He was found hiding in the shower of a hotel bathroom Saturday morning, a room also occupied by two of his male friends. Police say they had noticed Brown driving a blue Dodge Charger 392 throughout the evening recklessly driving on Murfreesboro Pike. Hours later, they again located the car as it was in line to turn into a nightclub on the same road. As officers approached the car, which had no tag displayed, Brown placed the charger in reverse. Officers screamed “Don’t do it!” but that didn’t stop Brown from fleeing backward, going the wrong way on Murfreesboro Pike., nearly ramming a patrol car. He then drove through a grassy ditch as he lost control but eventually fled along Kermit Drive.

Officers did not pursue him but instead waited for him at a nearby hotel where the car had been seen earlier. Officers found the car, covered in fresh grass, parked at the hotel, and security directed them to the room, already knowing who they were searching for. Two friends answered the door and stated they were the only ones in the room. After a bit of back-and-forth, they finally admitted Brown was hiding in the shower. Brown said he ran because he “was scared,” but later said, “That was my car, but I wasn’t driving,” when they explained they had documented his reckless driving at five different scenes, including Airport Center Drive, where illegal car side shows were being held, along with street/intersection takeovers.
