Share this article...

36-year-old James Rodgers was causing a disturbance outside of Layla’s Honky Tonk Sunday afternoon in downtown Nashville. Officers working in the Entertainment District approached him and immediately observed him to be unsteady on his feet and intoxicated. Rodgers stated he was attempting to find his wife but did not remember what bar they were at nor what hotel they were staying at. She did not answer the phone, but officers were able to determine the phone was located at the Hilton Hotel. Officers gave Rodgers directions to the hotel, and he said he would go there to find her. Moments later, officers had to return to the area as Rodgers was once again causing a disturbance at the location, yelling, screaming, and stumbling into the street.
