Thomas A. Grooms charged with vandalizing stranger’s car in roadside rage

77-year-old Thomas A. Grooms is charged with vandalism after he caused $1,455.95 in damages to a stranger’s vehicle in a storage confrontation in 2020. The victim, Lauren Craven, was driving on Brightwood Ave when Grooms suddenly stepped out of his vehicle along the roadway and motioned for her to stop or slow down. Feeling uncomfortable, she says she slowed and moved to the right to create distance from Grooms. Grooms reportedly moved aggressively toward her vehicle, striking it until it was damaged, as recorded on the victim’s dash cam. She didn’t immediately want to prosecute, believing in good faith he would pay for the vandalism. When the issue remained unresolved, she sought the vandalism charge. He was booked on the warrant this week.

As 24-year-old Fort Campbell Soldier Ironne ‘Ron’ Coley attempted to go upstairs, he was stopped by bouncer Deangelo Ridloy, and the two began to argue and cause a large disturbance. Coley then punched the bouncer in the face, knocking him to the floor. Coley then jumped on top of the bouncer and began to beat him. Coley’s friend, fellow soldier Hunter Fairweather, then also assaulted the bouncer while he was down. Police observed a video of the assault and documented multiple injuries on the victim.
