Nashville church Security Guard assaulted after man asked to leave property, police say

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A man has been arrested after police say he hit a Nashville church Security Guard several times in the face.

Metro Nashville Police say that officers on Sunday were dispatched to 510 Woodland Street, the address for Nashville First Church of the Nazarene, after a uniformed armed Security Guard at the church was allegedly assaulted.

The Guard, Richard Pachura, told police that he had been informed a man, later identified as Arthur Kyzar, had been told to leave another church nearby. The Holy Name Church, located at 521 Woodland Street, had told Kyzar he was not allowed on their property, an affidavit says.

When Pachura saw Kyzar near the front entrance to the Church of the Nazarene, he allegedly told him he would have to leave.

“Kyzar then started to yell and cause a scene disturbing the other patrons at the church,” an affidavit says. “Mr. Pachura started to attempt to move Mr. Kyzar out of the property to which Mr. Kyzar got extremely close to him in a threatening manner, and due to feeling threatened, Mr. Pachura used pepper spray to attempt to create distance between him and Mr. Kyzar.”

The affidavit says that Kyzar then hit Pachura “in the face several times,” cutting Pachura’s upper lip and causing a “small gash in the top of his head from where he fell to the ground due to the punches.” Pachura also had scratches on the inside of his arm.

A witness jumped in to separate the two and Kyzar fled the scene. He was taken into custody when police found him behind a school.

Kyzar now faces the felony charge of aggravated assault, serious bodily injury.

Deranged California Man Harasses and Insists on Recording Security Guard’s Backside After Parking Dispute, Police Do Nothing: ‘He Is Definitely the Son of a Diplomat’

Security Guards often deal with difficult people on the job, but sometimes those encounters escalate into something far more disturbing. That’s what happened in San Diego, California, when a female Security Guard faced an aggressive individual while working at a shopping plaza.

As part of her parking enforcement duties, she noticed a man parked in a red zone. To document the violation, she began recording the vehicle. The man clearly didn’t appreciate that. He got out of his car, started filming her in return, and gave her the middle finger.

But the situation didn’t stop there. Instead of simply arguing, the man repeatedly tried to position himself behind her while filming, focusing his camera on her backside. Even when she moved, he attempted to circle around her to continue doing it. The interaction quickly shifted from a parking dispute to harassment, making the encounter far more unsettling than a routine enforcement situation.

The disturbing encounter in California didn’t end there. The man continued moving closer to the Security Guard, repeatedly demanding to know why she was filming him. Even after she warned that she would call the police if he didn’t back away, he ignored her and kept approaching.

At one point, she asked a nearby woman to call the police for help. Still, the man refused to stop. He continued filming her, calling her names and invading her personal space. The Guard calmly explained that she had only taken his photo because it was part of her job and that he was trespassing. But her explanation made no difference.

Once again, he tried to circle around her to film her from behind. Clearly frustrated and uncomfortable, she finally snapped, telling him, “Stop trying to record my backside, you weirdo.”

When the harassment continued, the Guard tried to make a phone call. That’s when the situation escalated even further. The man slapped her phone out of her hand, sending it to the ground. As she tried to retrieve it, their shadows suggested that he may have pushed her. She immediately shouted, “Don’t touch me,” and warned him that he would be going to jail.

The video ended shortly after, but the Guard later shared more details with TikToker TizzyEnt, who reposted the footage in hopes of identifying the man. According to her, the police ultimately failed to take meaningful action.

“The cops discouraged me from pursuing anything after they went to his house and gave him a slap on the wrist,” she said. She added that officers made her feel “hopeless and helpless,” using careful language that suggested pushing the case further wasn’t worth it. They also refused to tell her the man’s identity.

Despite having video evidence, the Guard said the man was allowed to walk away without consequences. For many viewers, the lack of accountability was just as upsetting as the harassment itself.

Meet Security Guard Norm Dion - Florida Weekly

Thumbnail floridaweekly.com
4 Upvotes

He is known in the building as just “Norm.” You could ask residents of the Horizon House condominium what “Norm’s” last name is and very few, if any, would know.

They know him simply as “Norm.” A veritable institution in the building and has been for nearly 14 years.

For the record, his last name is Dion. For the rest of this story, however, we will call him as his friends in the building do— simply, Norm.

Norm is the Security Guard for the Horizon House condominium located on the beachfront building that stands as the first as you enter the Park Shore part of Gulf Shore Boulevard. Calling Norm just a “security guard” doesn’t really do him justice. He takes on duties from all different aspects of the building.

If someone needs help carrying something upstairs, Norm is there to help. If someone needs a large helping of groceries removed from their car, Norm is there to help. If the wind is blowing and pool furniture is flying around, Norm is there to put them in a safe spot. If the front lobby needs cleaning, or sweeping, or blowing away of leaves, Norm is the man to do it. When the mail truck, or Amazon man, maintenance folks, or even the friendly Door Dash delivery drivers come to the building, Norm is there to meet and greet.

There have even been more serious cases where Norm has had to step in. If someone is having a health issue, Norm has been there to assist and call for emergency help. Maybe most famously in the building, during the past two hurricanes, when many residents were out of town or back home, and the building was near empty—it was Norm who hunkered down, didn’t even go to his own home and instead stayed overnight at the building to make sure everything was safe.

Total dedication to the building and it’s residents.

“Everyone really appreciated Norm’s loyalty during those two hurricanes,” stated resident Carrie Pendergrass.

“He is like the Mayor of the Horizon House,” says building manager Pam Fowler. “Everyone knows Norm, and he knows everyone”.

Long time building resident Susan Lisa calls him “a fixture” in the building, and husband Tom Lisa smiles as he recalls Norm’s loud laugh, which on a good day with the wind blowing just right can be heard all the to the top of the 14-story building.

Norm (Norman, sometimes when folks want to get formal) is no pushover. He can dish out strong and candid opinions with greatest of ease. Be it politics, world affairs, the weather, or any other life happenings Norm is not short to wax poetic and often get into discussions with other building residents.

All part of his job and part of what makes Norm so unique.

MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio -- A Cleveland man, 41, and a Brook Park man, 29, were cited and given court dates after they stole at least $375 in gift cards from Amazon, 6895 Engle Road.

An Amazon Security Guard reported the thefts Dec. 29. She said the two men were former Amazon employees. Presumably, they were still working at Amazon at the time of the thefts.

Security video showed the older man slip a $100 gift card into his clothes on Sept. 23. The man gave the card to a family member who lived with him.

On Oct. 14, the man stole a $25 gift card and gave it to the Brook Park man.

On Oct. 31, the Cleveland man snatched a $20 gift card and sent it to someone in Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, on Oct. 1, the Brook Park man stole a $230 gift card.

The Security Guard believes the men stole additional gift cards, but she didn’t have video evidence.

She said she interviewed the Cleveland man about the thefts, but he denied stealing the gift cards.

However, the Brook Park man, when confronted, admitted stealing the gift cards and implicated the Cleveland man.

Gatehouse Clash: Man Accused Of Assaulting Security Guard At Charles County Fairgrounds

LA PLATA, Md. — A Port Tobacco man accused of assaulting a private Security Guard during an altercation at the Charles County Fairgrounds in La Plata is scheduled to stand trial early next year, according to court records.

Jason Christopher Moffitt, 48, is charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct stemming from a Dec. 13, 2025, incident that occurred around 2 p.m. during the Kris Kringle Christmas Market, a holiday shopping and vendor event held at the fairgrounds.

According to a statement of probable cause, the incident began when a vendor reported the theft of a bracelet from a booth at the fairgrounds. A private Security Officer assigned to the event located Moffitt near the front gate and attempted to speak with him about the reported theft.

Court documents state the Security Officer observed signs of intoxication and described Moffitt as acting erratically during the encounter. Investigators said Moffitt consented to a search but became agitated as the officer attempted to conduct it. Police allege Moffitt resisted and attempted to strike the officer, leading to a physical confrontation.

The Security Officer deployed a Taser multiple times in an effort to gain compliance after initial attempts were ineffective. Moffitt was eventually restrained and taken into custody. No serious injuries were reported.

Court records show Moffitt was charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. He was released on his own recognizance the same day.

A trial is scheduled for Feb. 17, 2026, in Charles County District Court.
