DUI: Nashville Fire Fighter Aaron Johnson tells police “I F*cked Up, Man” after causing crash

When police arrived, they saw three cars crashed on the road and the occupants of the vehicles waiting on the sidewalk of the bridge. While police spoke with Aaron, they noticed his eyes were very glassy; he was slurring his words and swaying back and forth.

Johnson was arrested for DUI and transported to booking.
