Litson PLLC Statement Regarding Arrest of Garet Davidson

May 5, 2025

The charges against retired MNPD Lieutenant Garet Davidson represent a transparent attempt to discredit and silence a whistleblower who exposed serious misconduct within the Metro Nashville Police Department. 

The documents in question are public records documenting MNPD leadership’s alleged efforts to undermine civilian oversight, protect high-ranking officers from accountability, and maintain a culture that tolerates harassment and discrimination. The additional charges related to the Covenant School Shooting materials further demonstrate the department's desire to use criminal charges to keep the public in the dark.

We look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Davidson against these retaliatorycharges.
