MNPD officer caught on video slamming woman into car during stop resigns

Mariah Timms, Nashville Tennessean

A Metro Nashville Police Department officer under investigation for the possible use of excessive force resigned Wednesday, the department confirmed.

Barrett Teague, a four year veteran of the force, was decommissioned on July 4 after police became aware of a video of him in a physical confrontation with a woman at a Nashville gas station.

The video, from July 3, appears to show Teague slamming the woman against a car during a traffic stop at a market on Dickerson Pike.

Adreneyonia Ensley, 21, posted on Facebook that Teague parked behind her at the Z Mart gas station at 803 Dickerson Pike because her license plate tags were expired. She said she provided the information and documents he asked for, and when he went back to his car she went to check her tags herself.
