Drunk soldier arrested after pooping pants at BNA while transporting 9 assault rifles— Donovan Paywa

Share this article...

22-year-old recent Air Assault graduate Donovan Paywa was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail Saturday afternoon after being refused service at Cafe Vino inside the Nashville Airport due to him having defecated on himself. The soldier was transporting 9 assault rifles aboard the aircraft and consumed three mixed drinks while inside the terminal. As staff noticed he had feces inside his jeans they alerted airport police, who arrived to find staff having to prop the soldier up, as he could no longer stand on his own without assistance. Officers advised Paywa he could call someone to come get him, go to the hospital to sober up and get checked out, or be arrested for public intoxication.

He repeatedly declined any assistance and started screaming “F-ck You” across the terminal, causing quite the scene. He was informed he was under arrest, and he refused to comply with the process, eventually having to be taken down by Airport Police by force as a passenger who happened to be an MP attempted to calm the young soldier, who then told the arresting officers “Your family is dead!”. Paywa was placed under arrest for public intoxication and transported to jail, where he was released and his case dismissed after an eight-hour intoxication hold. His social media shows him catching a return flight to New Mexico on Sunday.

COMPLAINT:
2021-0640867
ARREST WARRANT / AFFIDAVIT:
On 12/18/2021 at appx 1552 hours, I, Ofc. A. Brennan, Unit 218, was dispatched to the Nashville International Airport, 1 Terminal Drive, Gate C12, in reference to an intoxicated male who was refused service and had defecated on himself. Upon arrival, I observed the Arrestee, Donovan Ray PAYWA, being held in a standing position by an airport worker.

Ofc. Aly and myself took over, sat down PAYWA in an aisle chair, and interviewed him. PAYWA presented us with his U.S. Army active duty ID card. Investigation revealed that PAYWA was drinking in the Cafe Vino and had mixed three different drinks. The staff recognized intoxication and cut him off, serving him water and crackers.

When his condition became more pronounced and they could see evidence of feces in his jeans, they called the police. PAYWA was initially cooperative, but I observed that he could not stand, had slurred speech, and was unable to care for himself. I advised him that he had three choices: get a friend to pick him up for his rebooked flight, go to the hospital, or go to jail for Public Intoxication.

PAYWA could not advise a contact to come get him and declined a hospital trip. He started cursing repeatedly “FUCK YOU!” loudly, with families and children present and watching. PAYWA was unreasonably annoying people in the vicinity, could not care for himself and could injure himself, others, or damage property as well.

I advised PAYWA that he was under arrest for Public Intoxication and grabbed his right wrist as Ofc. Aly grabbed his left wrist. PAYWA yelled, “FUCK YOU! YOUR FAMILY IS DEAD!” and refused to place his hands behind his back. I directed Ofc. Aly “to the floor” and used an armbar to swing PAYWA from the chair to the carpeted floor, where he tensed up his arms.

An observant passenger/military police officer tried to occupy and calm down PAYWA while we handcuffed him without incident. Handcuffs were checked for tightness and double locked. I confirmed that PAYWA was breathing properly and Sgt. Delheimer advised by radio to ensure that PAYWA was moved to a seated position.

As other officers arrived, we rolled PAYWA onto his side, then sat him up, and stood him up. PAYWA was escorted to vehicle 6595, mileage 43045 for transport to Metro booking office without incident and was monitored en route with no medical issues present.
