NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A neo-Nazi group demonstrated on an overpass overlooking Interstate 65 on Monday afternoon.

The group identified themselves as the Goyim Defense League, which, according to the Anti-Defamation League is, “…is a loose network of individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism.”

An officer with the Metro Nashville Police Department said several officers responded to the area after multiple 911 calls. The group then hung a banner/sign on the overpass.

The group began packing up to leave as officers went to respond.

Over the weekend, two people were arrested after a protestor carrying a Nazi flag used his flagpole to strike a downtown bar employee, according to MNPD. Police arrested 29-year-old Ryan Scott McCann of Ontario, Canada. He was charged with felony aggravated assault after using his flagpole to hit the bartender, 19-year-old Deago Buck.

Police said Buck had just been involved in a fight with members of a presumed Neo-Nazi protest group.

McCann was part of the group who carried Nazi flags and “spread white supremacist rhetoric” on Broadway and 3rd Avenue on Sunday afternoon, police said.

The group left Broadway and headed south on 3rd Avenue. As they walked, Buck got into a fight with one of the protestors, police said.

As the parties became separated, McCann hit Buck in the face and ribs with the flagpole.

“Chief John Drake condemned the hate being spread by the Neo-Nazi group,” MNPD said in a press release. “He expressed his appreciation to the MNPD officers who spent their late afternoon/early evening monitoring the group’s activities.”

A week ago, a hate group of white supremacists took over parts of downtown Nashville with what’s being called a ‘disturbing’ march.

The group that marched past city hall is called Patriot Front. The Southern Poverty Law Center has designated the group as a white nationalist hate group. The Anti-Defamation League also said its members believe their ancestors conquered America and left it for only them.

Around 200 members wearing masks walked across Lower Broadway and through downtown Nashville on Saturday carrying confederate flags and upside-down American flags. Metro Nashville government officials said they did not have a permit but proceeded to block off roads on their own.

Tegan Kuhns is going to pitch for Tennessee baseball, the heralded prep pitcher told Knox News on Monday.

The 6-foot-4 right-handed pitcher from Gettysburg Area High School in Pennsylvania was ranked the No. 96 prospect going into the draft by MLB.com. Kuhns indicated to Knox News he will come to school after the second day of the 2024 MLB Draft on Monday at which point he had not been picked.

He will be eligible for 2026 draft as a draft-eligible sophomore.

Infielders Ty Southisene and Trey Snyder were the lone two Tennessee commits picked in the first 10 rounds. Southisene was picked in the fourth round by the Chicago Cubs with pick No. 120. Snyder was drafted No. 144 by the New York Mets as a fifth-round pick.

The Vols had seven signees ranked in the top-200 prospects, including Kuhns and fellow pitcher Anson Siebert who was ranked No. 108.

Tennessee had a program-record four players taken in the first two rounds.

Second baseman Christian Moore became the highest-drafted UT player under coach Tony Vitello when he was picked No. 8 overall by the Los Angeles Angels. First baseman Blake Burke was selected No. 34 by the Milwaukee Brewers in the competitive balance portion of the first round. Third baseman Billy Amick was picked No. 60 overall as the second-round pick of the Minnesota Twins. Outfielder Dylan Dreiling was No. 65 as the Texas Rangers’ second-round pick.
