Arrested for domestic violence

Trooper Kenneth Lance Suggs was arrested on Sunday, Nov. 18 by the Murfreesboro Police Department and is currently on discretionary leave with pay pending a criminal and internal investigation.


According to a police affidavit, police responded to an apartment on 1650 Cason Lane in reference to a domestic violence. When they arrived, they met with a woman who was crying and upset. She told investigators that her ex-boyfriend, Suggs, came over unannounced holding a beer and was drunk. When she let Suggs in, they argued about their break-up. When the woman asked Suggs to leave, Suggs reportedly became irate, called her a derogatory name, retrieved a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at her face. The woman told investigators she covered her face with a pillow and Suggs told her "Don't worry, you'll never see me again" and left the apartment.
