NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A welfare check in East Nashville turned into a standoff for Metro Police late Sunday.
According to police, they were called to the home by concerned family members to check on a woman who reportedly had severe medical needs.
Her family stated they were concerned her husband was not properly taking care of her.
