Bachelorettes: 0; Nashville: 1. Karly Pustka arrested after assaulting the bride-to-be
On Sunday, 25-year-old Karly Pustka opined on her Instagram account: “Nashville can’t handle the Texans #nashvillebachelorettee” with a photo of her friends in Nashville — it would turn out that the Texans couldn’t handle Nashville. In the early hours of Monday morning, Metro Nashville Police responded to a domestic disturbance call at Club Wyndham Nashville on McGavock Pike. The bride-to-be, Madison Pustka, told police her cousin, Karly Pustka, lunged at her while scratching at her neck. Madison says she was just attempting to check on Karly, who had locked herself in the bathroom of the hotel room after getting extremely intoxicated. Madison and another person were able to get past the locked door, which angered Karly, who says she acted in self-defense. Karly was taken into custody and charged with domestic assault with bodily injury.

Commissioner Eugenia Grayer releases “I’m going to kill a Mexican” man on ‘ROR’ — Jeffery Mitchell
Twice within an hour on Monday, Metro Nashville police responded to a white male, later identified as 51-year-old Jeffery Mitchell, standing outside his Antioch apartment who was specifically threatening to hurt his neighbors, specifically chanting he was going to “Kill a Mexican” and told one of the neighboring children it was going to be her father specifically. The first time, officers told the man to go back to his apartment, and they say he promised to say inside the rest of the night. Thirty minutes later, officers responded to the second call, and the family presented video footage of the chants and threats, and Mitchell admitted to making the threats.
Officer Ashley Kappenmacher, seemingly reluctantly, took Mitchell into custody, charging him with disorderly conduct. Night Court Commissioner Eugenia Grayer released the man back to his home on his own recognizance (ROR), no bail, no pre-trial release, no restrictions, just hours after he was arrested.
