A homeless man in Nashville has been arrested under Tennessee's felony anti-camping law. The arrest occurred after a 911 call led officers to South Inglewood Park, where the man was seeking shelter from the rain. This is the first such arrest made by the Metro Nashville Police Department.

The arrest has sparked concerns among advocates about the approach to addressing homelessness in Nashville. They question whether the city is relying too heavily on criminalization rather than providing housing and services. Further details about the arrest and its implications are available from local news sources, including WSMV 4 News.

The Metro Nashville Police Department has taken steps to update its training procedures for responding to unauthorized camping calls.
