Share this article...

34-year-old Lindsey Dixon was charged with DUI Friday morning after officers found her slumped over the wheel of a running vehicle on Music Circle East. Initially concerned she may be in need of medical attention, officers stopped to check on her, at which time she began telling officers the story of why she was parked in this location, which they noted she “was rambling and talking in circles, but did manage to tell officers she had been drinking the night before”. She eventually blew a 0.087 BAC, even after having been asleep behind the wheel of the running car for a few hours. Dixon was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail and is free on pre-trial release.

2021-0584268
ARREST WARRANT / AFFIDAVIT:
Officers were in the area of 10 Music Circle E, when they observed the defendant slumped over in a running vehicle with the headlights on. Fearing that the defendant may be in need of medical attention, officers stopped and made contact with the defendant who appeared to be sleeping.

When the defendant woke up, she began telling officers the story of why she was parked at this location. The defendant was rambling and talking in circles, but did manage to tell officers that she had been drinking the night before. The defendant presented with bloodshot, watery eyes and slightly slurred speech. Officers believed the defendant to be under the influence, which a field sobriety test confirmed.

Although the defendant was able to do the one-leg stand and turn test to satisfaction, it was the nystagmus test that indicated that the defendant was intoxicated. Under the complied consent, the defendant agreed to a breath test to determine if she was indeed, intoxicated.

With the help of Traffic officer Christopher Augustine, the defendant was given the breath test and blew a 0.087, which is over the legal limit. she was taken into custody and charged with Driving under the influence
