High On Meth, Man Breaks Into Home To Flee Imagined Gunmen: MNPD

NASHVILLE, TN -- A 41-year-old man, reportedly high on meth, allegedly told police he broke into a Priest Lake home to hide from two men who were chasing him with guns.

At 2 a.m. Tuesday, a woman on Lincoya Creek Drive heard something outside her front door and hid in a closet while calling 911, Metro Police said.

When officers arrived, they found 41-year-old Steven Lisenby just across the threshold of the woman's home, according to an affidavit.

Lisenby reportedly told officers he was high on methamphetamine and that he broke in to escape two people who were chasing him with a gun. The neighborhood was otherwise quiet Tuesday and investigators say Lisenby either imagined or fabricated the story of the would-be shooters.

Lisenby is charged with vandalism and trespassing.
