36-year-old Shane Woods reportedly bothered both staff and other guests at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Nashville Vanderbilt on Division Street late Saturday evening. Police arrived to find him unsteady on his feet and slurring all the words he attempted to use. He claimed to have only drank two alcoholic beverages, however upon further investigation, officers asked him to stand up straight — at which point he almost fell face forward to the ground. Unable to locate any friends or family to assist him, officers transported him to booking, where he was charged with public intoxication.

The officers approached Steele and told him he was too drunk to drive and that he should find another way home. They tried to convince him to get an Uber, and even went as far as speaking to his father via phone in an attempt to convince him. He continued to restate he was able to drive. Unable to let him drive away or leave him there, he was transported to booking and charged with public intoxication.
