The Restoration Church at 4809 Gallatin Pike asked police to remove a sleeping woman, 43-year-old Akeeyla Harris, from their property and trespass her so she could not return. She became irate when officers told her she had to leave the church property. Akeelya Harris then swung a grocery bag containing food items and two water bottles into Officer Hollingworth, sacking him squarely in the groin. As he placed her into custody, he asked why she assaulted him, and she stated, “I did it on purpose!”
Akeeyla Harris was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 18th, charged with assault on a first responder. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $2,500, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from her facility.
