NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Authorities have arrested and charged a man who allegedly brandished a handgun during the 'No Kings' protest in Nashville.

The Metro Nashville Police Department said officers were flagged to the area of Jefferson Street and 7th Avenue North just before 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 14.

According to witnesses, the suspect—identified as a 19-year-old counter-protester from Murfreesboro—was involved in heated arguments and spit at people during the 'No Kings' protest at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.

At some point, the 19-year-old reportedly pulled out a gun and kept it pointed toward the ground, which placed people in the crowd in fear.

Booking records show the 19-year-old was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and is being held at Metro Jail on a $1,500 bond.

Officials added this was the only arrest related to the protest in Nashville. No additional details were immediately released.
