(June 25, 2022) Officers Friday night charged Alijah Fortenberry, 20, with aggravated assault on police and gun theft after he pulled the pistol on an officer and sergeant who were seated in an unmarked MNPD vehicle at a parking garage on 3rd Avenue North.
The officers immediately exited the vehicle, drew their guns, and ordered Fortenberry to drop his. He complied. The gun Fortenberry carried was stolen in Nashville.
Fortenberry is jailed in the Downtown Detention Center. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $25,000.
