A NYPD police officer was arrested on Tuesday for breaking into a woman’s house while he was highly intoxicated in Nashville, Tennessee. The officer threatened the victim’s family and called the victim the N word.
NYPD officer Michael Reynolds, 24, faces official charges of felony aggravated burglary and misdemeanor assault.
The charges stem from an incident in July 2018 when Reynolds was on vacation staying at an Airbnb in a popular Nashville neighborhood. After a night of rather heavy drinking, Reynolds went to the wrong Airbnb house which he didn’t have any keys for.
With no legal way to enter the home, Reynolds broke into the home of Conese Halliburton, WKRN News reports.

Halliburton and her two sons yelled at Reynolds to get out of the house.
But instead of leaving, Reynolds shouted at the family saying,
> “Try to shoot me, I’ll break every bone in your fucking neck. You fucking nigger.”
A police report was filed the next day when Halliburton confronted Reynolds on the street. At that time Reynolds apologized citing he was at the wrong rental house. Reynolds was not arrested until Oct. 2.
Reynolds is being held in Hill Detention Center in downtown Nashville while awaiting trial. The NYPD has suspended Officer Reynolds without pay. His bond has been set at $1,500.
