From Metro PD
(July 23, 2022) Officers working the Entertainment District Initiative downtown Friday night/Saturday morning charged Cristopher Quintero, 19, of Antioch, with six counts of aggravated assault against first responders after he pulled a gun from his satchel as officers were working to arrest a man involved in a fight in the 400 block of Broadway.
At 11:40 p.m., as officers were working to detain Ja’Corious Hudson, 19, of Nashville, Quintero approached and started interfering. Officers instructed Quintero to get back. Moments later, a citizen yelled that Quintero had a gun. A security guard at Lucky Bastard Saloon was standing in the large open window of the bar and saw Quintero pulling the gun from the satchel. He jumped from the window onto Quintero and knocked the gun from his grasp. Officers expressed their sincere gratitude to the 41-year-old security guard, an Army veteran, for his quick action.
In addition to the six aggravated assault counts, Quintero is charged with unlawful gun possession, gun possession while under the influence, public intoxication, and marijuana possession. He is jailed in lieu of $53,000 bond.
Hudson was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. He posted a $2,000 bond.
