28-year-old Bernardo ‘Bernie’ Macias was jailed on April 8th after becoming irate when EMS wouldn’t let him on the ambulance with his intoxicated brother. His friend started pushing him away, saying, “Bro, don’t do this; let’s go.” Bernado started shoving his friend back, and that’s when the police placed him into custody. The friend did not wish to prosecute; he just wanted his friend to leave and for EMS to transport the brother to the hospital. Bernardo was unsteady on his feet, slurring his words, and smelled strongly of alcohol. He told police several times that he was an accountant at US Bank, had a bachelor’s degree in finance, made $95,000 a year, and did nothing wrong at all.
Bernardo E. Macias was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 9 (with his first/last name reversed) and charged with public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $50.
