37-year-old Heather Mcdevitt-Barton fell asleep while driving on Commerce Street Wednesday night. Police say she then abruptly woke up, drove another block, and rear-ended another vehicle, leaving that driver with an injury to the leg. She denied using alcohol or drugs, yet was visibly intoxicated. She performed poorly on field sobriety tests. An inventory search of her vehicle found two empty and one half-filled can of hard lemonade. She blew a 0.275% BAC on a breathalyzer, more than three times the legal limit.
Heather Mcdevitt-Barton of Oak St in Clinton, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 31st, charged with driving under the influence and open container violation. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $1,500, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from their facility.
