A 10-year-old was handcuffed and detained in downtown Nashville. Police explain why

A 10-year-old boy was handcuffed and detained in downtown Nashville at 1 a.m. for violating the city’s juvenile curfew ordinance while carrying buckets and a milk crate. Police stated they were concerned for his welfare and called his father, who was unable to retrieve him, so an officer drove the boy home. The incident was discussed at a Community Oversight Board meeting, where concerns about accountability and the boy’s alleged drumming for tips were raised.
