NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A former reality TV star from Middle Tennessee was arrested at a Walmart on Friday after she attacked another person with a sock filled with rocks, according to an arrest affidavit.
On Friday, July 18, officers with the Metro Nashville Police Department were called to 3035 Hamilton Church Road in reference to the alleged assault.
Officers spoke with the victim, who said she was using the self-checkout when the suspect, 21-year-old Diamond Tankard, came from behind and grabbed her by the hair. After the attack, the victim said Tankard took her $1,500 iPhone 14 and her $900 Louis Vuitton handbag.
Officers found a laceration above the victim’s left eye on her forehead.
According to the victim’s grandmother, Tankard had a sock filled with rocks and used it to strike the victim.
Walmart staff provided security footage of the incident, which confirmed it.
Tankard was arrested and charged with theft of property and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She bailed out on a $25,000 bond.
In December, Tankard was charged with attempted first-degree murder after she allegedly intentionally struck a woman with her vehicle on Nov. 29.
Tankard was a reality TV child star who appeared on Bravo’s Thicker Than Water, a show about Ben Tankard and his family. Ben is a music producer and pastor of Murfreesboro church, Destiny Center.
Lol!
Whew. Thank goodness. I thought it was an attack with a smelly sock.
That would be MUCH worse than a sock filled with rocks or quarters!
Egad! She looks like the type who would put an ice pick through your temple while she had sex with you.
Just for fun.
Exactly!! Think of that Ann-Margret John Forsythe movie from 1964;
“Kitten With A Whip”
Her beauty may become a fatal attraction!
Never heard of it-is it worth watching? (with the dearth of good Hollywood movies, I am delving into the past for entertainment!
Prison tool
With locks or soap bars
Do I REALLY need to look???? YOGI????
Sadly no, you do not.
Hahaha.
At least she wasn’t wearing socks with sandals. Now THAT would be a faux pas.
Then what's my iPhone 6, chopped liver?!?!
Sock+soap = Blanket Party!
Glad somebody got it.
That was a tough scene to watch in Full Metal Jacket.
Thankfully, I was never on the receiving end...
Guns don’t kill people. Socks kill people.
Obsolete chopped liver. 🤣
I'm making up for it with my new 128G Evo X2 :) I just installed a second 2T NVME drive in it this evening, so I can dual boot between Windows and Lubuntu.
I’ve got a smaller SSD here that I’ve been meaning to install so I can have a dual boot machine, too. I really like Linux and the interface is so Windows-like, that the transfer is virtually seamless. The only thing is that some apps aren’t available for Linux.
Last night I put the second NVME drive in the new unit, and configured a USB drive to install Lubuntu. I'll be installing either tonight or tomorrow night.
