Alexandria Dady, a 29-year-old woman, has been charged in connection with a disturbance at Opry Mills Mall in Nashville that led to a mass evacuation on Saturday. Dady turned herself in and is facing charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault. The charges stem from an altercation with her ex-boyfriend at a Chili’s restaurant within the mall, where she allegedly attacked him.
According to reports, Dady assaulted her ex-boyfriend, who was working at the restaurant, by throwing a glass at his head, which broke and caused cuts on his arm and wrist. Following the attack, Dady forced him outside into a black Dodge Challenger. An unidentified woman accompanying Dady was seen picking up a shoe, which may have been mistaken for a weapon, contributing to the panic.
