Nashville Man Charged After Assaulting Black Parking Garage Worker For Not Showing His ID To Him

A Tennessee man is facing criminal charges after assaulting a Black man who was working in the River House apartment building’s parking garage in Nashville.

Edward Brennan was arrested by Nashville police after he attempted to punch and hit Johny Martinez who is an employee and working in the parking garage responsible for checking the parked cars for parking permits.

The whole fiasco began when the mother and son duo asked Martinez to show his employee ID. He refused.

The interaction only got worse when the mother-son duo started calling the police and Edward Brennan physically struck Martinez and caused a key from his keyring to fall off.

“He broke this bottle opener off of my keys. When I went to go pick it up, he lunged.”

Martinez is an employee whose job is to check parked cars for parking permits in order to make sure the company he is employed through, a car booting company, doesn't need to boot any of the cars in the lot.

During his job he prefers wearing a large headlamp, knee pads and a lanyard, hoping to signal to passersby he should be left alone and he should be there.

It is reported that no charges have yet been filed against Bitsy Brennan.
