NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Employees said a domestic dispute broke the glass of a high-rise hotel in downtown Nashville during Memorial Day weekend.

The incident happened at the Omni Hotel in downtown, located at Rep. John Lewis Way South.

A marketing spokesperson said on X/Twitter that no one was hurt. The suspect, Jason L. O'Donnell, was arrested for domestic assault, according to a Metro Nashville Police Department affidavit.

The affidavit stated this happened on the 21st floor of the hotel and shattered the double-pane hotel window. Police were first called in response to a large object thrown from a window. When they arrived, police said a female victim told them she and O'Donnell had been in a verbal altercation.

That escalated into O'Donnell throwing a pillow at her and then throwing a large object toward the window, according to the affidavit. The object ended up being a table, the affidavit stated.

Damage is estimated between $20 and $30,000, hotel staff told police. O'Donnell was intoxicated at the time of the incident, police said.

Happy Birthday to the YMCA of Middle TN. They just celebrated their 150th anniversary! A lot has changed with the Y over the years. I have personally seen some of that firsthand when I was a long-time board member at the Northwest Family Y and part of their Black Achievers Program. Forrest Sanders has a look back.
