Murfreesboro police have responded to several calls involving 25-year-old Emanuel Samson, the man arrested in the Antioch church shooting.

The most recent run in with police happened just this past June. 

Back in January, police responded to a domestic vandalism call involving Emmanuel Samson.

According to police, he had damaged someones television, and back in March police responded to another verbal domestic violence call. 

Yet, in June, police showed up to the Campus Crossing Apartments for an attempted suicide call.

NewsChannel 5 got a hold of that 911 conversation and we are learning his girl friend thought he may have been suicidal at one point.

The caller tells dispatch she was so afraid of Samson and what he may do to himself so she called for help.

"And he has harmed your items? Yeah and scratch my arm but, he just tried to yank my phone out of my hand and scratch me, but he really wasn't trying to harm me."

The vandalism victim never pressed any charges against Samson, and Samson was never charged as a result of any of these 911 calls.
