Controversy surrounding David Chase, developer who was arrested in 2014 for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend, has increased as a Nashville Scene investigation revealed consultant Bill Fletcher requested $2 million from Chase “to make it all go away.” Chase revealed the request in a civil lawsuit he filed against people he claims conspired against him. WTVF reports Chase's mother said that she never believed the money requested was for Davidson County District Attorney Glenn Funk, who eventually agreed to drop the charges against her son. Funk denies any wrongdoing, but WSMV reports Funk made a secret deal with Chase that required him to drop charges against the Metro Police Department in exchange for his (Chase's) charges being dropped. The public was never alerted about that deal.
