Metro Police say 40-year-old Christina Morales crashed in North Nashville, then drove her vehicle to another location before calling police to report the crash. She was obviously intoxicated upon their arrival, and said she had “a few beers”, admitting she had just come from “hanging out with her ex”. She consented to a breathalyzer, on which she blew a 0.321, which is over 4x the legal limit in Tennessee. She is charged with DUI and free on pre-trial release.
