Jordyn Pair | The Tennessean

Lashonda Simmons, 34, is being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after pulling a gun on a couple over a handicap spot.

Two individuals were moving belongings into an apartment in Goodlettsville when the man noticed Simmons' car parked illegally in a handicap spot, according to the affidavit. He commented on it loudly, prompting Simmons to come onto her apartment balcony and tell him, "you better not hit my car."

Simmons and the man then got into a verbal fight. Simmons then went inside, coming back out with a small, black handgun.

The affidavit states the couple did not see the gun and continued walking to the apartment, while the man continued to shout with Simmons.

Simmons then ran at the pair, shouting that she was going to call her brother. She continued to point the gun at the couple and yelled, "I'm going to lace you."

The woman moving into the apartment then saw the gun and began pushing the man into the apartment, according to the affidavit.

Goodlettsville Police Department arrested Simmons in her apartment on Monday night. She is set to appear in court on July 27.
