27-year-old War of Ages drummer, Kaleb Luebchow, told police “…yea, I did not eat any food earlier, and drank heavy beers at the bar, and should not have driven” after they found him in “soaking wet” pants after a crash in East Nashville where he attempted to flee the scene. Luebchow performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was transported to Metro General for a blood draw before being booked into the Metro Nashville Jail, charged with DUI. He is free on pre-trial release.
