Nashville Police Chief thanks security officer for heroic actions
NASHVILLE, Tenn. July 31 2022 Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake thanked a Broadway security guard Friday for helping prevent a potential tragedy last week.
Chief Drake thanked Mike Kuhn, a security guard at Lucky Bastard Saloon in downtown Nashville, for assisting in stopping a man who attempted to hurt a police officer the week prior.
On Friday, July 22, 19-year-old Cristopher Quintero of Antioch attempted to interfere in his friend’s arrest on lower Broadway. Authorities said a citizen yelled that Quintero had a gun. At that moment, Kuhn, standing in the bar’s large open window, saw Quintero pulling the weapon from a pouch and jumping from the window onto Quintero, knocking the gun from his grasp.
Man charged with six counts of aggravated assault of a first responder
Thanks to the quick actions of Kuhn, no one was seriously hurt, and police could take Quintero and his friend into custody.
