What if you could make $300 a day, would you work any number of hours to get to that goal? What if you were responsible for a passenger in your car, and that job was driving? That’s exactly what’s happening in Nashville with the Uber and Lyft drivers. We’ve found drivers working over 15 hours in a day behind the wheel. How would you feel knowing your Uber/Lyft driver was working 15 hours behind the wheel? Would you feel that was safe for them to drive you to your destination?…

Lyft Passenger Banned for being “just one of those women where she knows it all”, “alpha female”, “biggest most arrogant, conceited bitch”, According to Driver Shawn Reed. But Was She?
Nashville Lyft Driver Shawn Reed describes a passenger as “just one of those women where she knows it all, alpha female”; “the biggest most arrogant, conceited bitch”. What brought about this description of a passenger by her driver? Imagine if you’re a person that is sensitive to loud noises & bright lights – maybe you just have a headache, and you just want to get home. To be safe, you request a Lyft. The Lyft app tells you when the driver is arriving, and despite that, the driver has sent…

Nashville Uber/Lyft Driver Christopher Redman has an upcoming court date on June 29th, to answer to charges that occurred a few weeks ago, on 02/23. Those charges include DUI & Implied Consent.

Uber Nashville Driver Posts Photo of Drunken, Passed Out Passenger, Abandons Him in Grass.
What do you do if you’re an Uber driver in Nashville, and your passenger is so drunk that after a twenty minute ride he has no idea where he’s going? Well, ideally you’d take him to the address he put as his destination in the pax app, assuming he was coherent enough to request an Uber, that much should, at least, be correct. What did new Uber Nashville driver Chris Jamison do? Every story has two sides, and according to his post on social media this morning, where he posted…
Frisky Frog’s Nashville: Fake Reviews
While researching our previous story about Frisky Frog’s Nashville, where they incorrectly assumed the gender identity of a patron and followed them into the restroom, we received a list of employees as part of our standard confirmation research. What we also noticed that many of these names looked familiar – they appeared as ‘guest reviews’ on both Yelp (and the hidden ones) & Facebook. Let’s take a look at some of the employees & associated people that left stellar reviews for Frisky Frog’s Nashville: As you can see, Jungle R.…

Party In Prison V: Are 3rd Party (G4S) Guards Providing Phones? Meet Toshana Hamilton
In our 5th installment of the ‘Party In Prison’ investigation, we hope to provide some insight into how guards/correctional officers, who are not state of Tennessee employees, have direct access to inmates in TN State prisons, and have direct links to current inmates on social media – often even the first person that is ‘friended’ on brand new social media accounts when they are created on a newly acquired cell phone by an inmate. Let’s  look at an example, and you can decide if hiring 3rd party contractors to act…
Party In Prison IV: Friends in High Places – Guards as Friends on Social Media
When we received a tip about an inmate posting on social media from within prison, we had  no idea how far reaching the issue still was, especially after WSMV’s statewide investigation that began 4 years prior, and still continues. Today, we continue the series, with Part IV – Friends in High Places. While we expected to find inmates talking to each other on social media, and friends on those accounts, what we did not expect to find was state employees and Tennessee Department of Correction prison guards and third-party contractors…
Party in Prison III: Inmate Kortavious Carwell Issues Challenge with Two New Cell Phones
Hours after we published an article last week that included TDOC Inmate Kortavious Carwell’s cell phone and social media activity from behind prison walls, he was back on social media, with a brand new account, with TWO cell phones, a live stream from NWCX, and a link to an unexpected Facebook Friend – a G4S Guard/Correctional Officer, who is a 3rd Party Contractor used to help staff prisons. We’ll cover more on that link in Part IV of our investigation where we have uncovered multiple guards are friends with multiple…
Party in Prison II: TDOC Inmates with Cellphones, Drugs, Videos & Social Media
Part II of our Party in Prison series, we travel to another TDOC facility, located in Tiptonville. While we realize this is far outside our normal Nashville coverage, we can’t ignore the things we found. Northwest Correctional Complex (NWCX) houses over 2300 of the states medium-security inmates, under Warden Mike Parris. Our initial investigation began as a tip of a East Nashville inmate who was posting from within prison, from there we were able to link to not only other inmates at Riverbend Prison in Nashville, but MGCC and NWCX,…
