On August 4th, officers responded to O’Charley’s at 5500 Old Hickory Boulevard for reported assault on multiple employees. The officers found Madysen Luzzo, Kalaf Levy, and Kelly Foster. Foster said she didn’t remember the incident because she was knocked out and received a concussion. Levy and Luzzo explained Jaquez and Jasmine Howse had an argument with them and then assault them as well. At this time, Levy went back inside to try to call the police. Jaquez followed his back inside and told him, “if you call the cops or try to get the license plate, I’ll beat your ass.” Levy also told the officers he grabbed his shirt and ripped it, attempting to swing at him several times, but missing.

He and Foster were trying to get them out of the location. Levy told officers once they were outside Jaquez was walking back to his vehicle, but still arguing with him.
