Car “Jacker” Apprehended in East Nashville
Bruton's Mugshot
Last Friday night, John Bruton was relaxing by himself, masturbating in the cozy confines of his car. He had his pants and underwear pulled down, and an array of porn magazines fanned out on the dashboard.
Unfortunately, Bruton’s car was parked in front of a Kroger at 711 Gallatin Road, right near Eastland Avenue.
You would think that Bruton received the shock of his life when Metro Nashville police officer Jerry Bell walked up to the car and tapped on the driver’s side window. But according to the police report Bell filed, Bruton remained pretty calm.
The carjacker “looked at me and then pulled up his pants and underpants and placed the pornographic magazines in the vehicle’s glove box,” Bell wrote in his report. Bruton exited the car and Bell asked him to turn around and place his hands behind his back for cuffing. “No, I ain’t doing it,” said Bruton, according to Bell’s report.
The officer then forced Bruton to turn around and the two scuffled. “The defendant…grabbed a hold of the front of my uniform… We struggled, which resulted in us hitting the grocery cart bin and then falling to the ground.”
Bruton took off running down Gallatin, though he was apprehended a short time later. Today he will go to court and face charges of indecent exposure, resisting arrest, and assault.

Does Bruton work for the Tennessean, and is that the reason you posted this story?
Posted 07/30/2008 at 11:32:05 AMTypical Bruton, caught with his pants down...
Posted 07/30/2008 at 12:29:43 PMFox, this is not the same John Bruton who works at Mercy Lounge, if that's what you were thinking.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 12:46:19 PMreally..????... its not the same guy... Anonymous you may need to need to come to the mercy more often or get your eyes checked... this guy is at the mercy ALL the time...
Posted 07/30/2008 at 01:02:12 PMThe carjacker is 1000% not the Bruton who works at Mercy. I thought that by posting the mugshot it would make that clear. The carjacker is an East Nashville low-life with a rap sheet of over two-dozen arrests for everything from criminal trespassing to possession.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 01:55:16 PMI can say with 100% certainty the person in the mugshot is not John Bruton from Mercy Lounge.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 01:57:07 PMIt is ABSOLUTELY NOT the Mercy Lounge John Bruton. I know that John Bruton well, and this is not him. So give it up.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 02:29:58 PMI'm sure Fox realizes that. But the striking family resemblance(s) should be noted.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 03:06:40 PM'Twas just a little joke. Both the mug shot and the description that he "took off running down Gallatin" gave it away. I mean, Mercy's Bruton running? Come on!
Posted 07/30/2008 at 03:11:44 PMunable to understand sarcasm = you're so Nashville....
Posted 07/30/2008 at 03:25:05 PMNasty. Wonder if headliner replacement shows up on Carfax.
Now we know why they call them beat cops!
Posted 07/30/2008 at 03:45:52 PMUnable to write something that is obviously sarcastic = you're so Nashville...
Posted 07/30/2008 at 03:46:19 PMI knew it wasn't Johnnie B when they simply said pornographic magazines, and not gay midget porn magazines from the 1940's.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 04:21:05 PMRe: Mercy Bruton "running" = All legs. All cough.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 04:43:32 PMNow I know why he likes Jack Daniels so much.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 05:05:10 PMthe thing is buddy... it is soooo OBVIOUS, that i am almost sadden that i need to explain this... you see i hang out at this badass club several times a week, and well.. i have never seen anyone who looks remotely like him at the venue... EVER... get it...???....furthermore... don't you get it... its HIS name but its NOT him...
Posted 07/30/2008 at 05:10:23 PMfo rilz.... sad....
Interestingly, John Bruton announced today that he's not interested in serving in an Obama administration.
Posted 07/30/2008 at 06:50:50 PMjc, let me explain, and I'll try to talk slow. When Fox made the first comment, the photo was not on the blog post. It was added later for clarification. So it was conceivable that there was confusion
Get it? If you need any further explanation, let me know.
Posted 07/31/2008 at 09:44:33 AMI am having a benefit concert to cover my legal fees on Mon. Aug 4th at the Mercy Lounge. It is a free show (8off 8th) so I probably will not raise much money. Line up will be posted soon.
Posted 07/31/2008 at 05:41:14 PMYou've got the wrong damn John!!!! I should know he's been my brother for a long while.
