Share this article...

27-year-old Tanner Taliaferro told officers he had “one shot at work” when asked how much he had been drinking after an East Nashville traffic stop last weekend. He was pulled over due to an improper stop and crossing the center-line multiple times. Officers noted obvious signs of intoxication in an arrest report, and Taliaferro agreed to a breathalyzer which resulted in a BAC of 0.223 as the highest reading. He is free on pre-trial release.

COMPLAINT:
2021-0598868
ARREST WARRANT / AFFIDAVIT:
On 11/21/2021 at approximately 2212 hours I observed a white SUV stop past the stop bar and partially in the intersection at Douglas Avenue and Gallatin Pike. The vehicle turned left onto Gallatin Pike headed outbound. I observed the vehicle drift in its lane and contacted the broken centerline. The driver made a wide turn onto Cahal Avenue and I initiated a traffic stop based on the driving observed.

I made contact with the driver, suspect, and while speaking to him could smell the obvious odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his expelled breath and person, his eyes were bloodshot and watery, and he admitted to consuming one shot at work.

Based on the driving observed, indicators of impairment observed during my personal contact, and his admission to consuming the shot I requested he perform sfst’s which he agreed to do. The suspect was taken into custody for DUI based on the driving observed, indicators of impairment observed during my personal contact, multiple indicators of impairment observed during the sfst’s, and his admission to consuming the shot.

He was read the implied consent law and consented to a breath test and the results were 0.223g,210L, 0.187g/210L, and 0.214g/210L.
