29-year-old Michael Wright was speeding in a vehicle with expired tags near 4th Avenue and Lafayette Street in the early hours of February 19th. Officers observed this, conducted a traffic stop, and noticed a strong odor of alcohol as they approached the driver’s side. Wright was unsteady on his feet as they asked him to exit his vehicle, and he admitted to having a couple of drinks at Barstool before driving to work. Wright consented to sobriety tests, performed poorly, and agreed to provide a breath sample after being informed of implied consent, which resulted in 0.121 BAC%. He was then taken into custody for driving under the influence.
Michael E. Wright of Herman Street in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on February 19th, charged with DUI. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
