DUI: Shaun Johnson isn’t sure how or why he ended up passed out in a parking lot

Diamond Cooper

34-year-old Shaun Johnson was jailed on March 31st after passing out drunk behind the wheel in a parking lot on Gallatin Pike. Police arrived on the scene, and Johnson refused medical attention. Police observed Johnson with dilated pupils, swaying while he stood, and slurred speech. Officers asked Johnson how much he had to drink, and he stated that he was initially drinking at his friend’s house, and then they went to a bar. Johnson drove from the bar to pick up food and somehow ended up on Gallatin Pike. He told police that he had about six drinks that night and didn’t remember how he ended up in the parking lot but must have pulled over because he was feeling too drunk. Johnson agreed to sobriety tests that he performed poorly on and was taken to booking.

Elaine Nugent charged in brutal candlestick holder assault of her son — blames it on him

Staff Reports

73-year-old Elaine McCarty Nugent, of Joelton, is charged with the wild aggravated domestic assault of her grown son using a candlestick holder, leaving him with three bloody severe lacerations to the top of his head. When confronted about the assault, she tried to downplay that anything happened, eventually blaming her own son, saying he must have injured himself since he was “mentally ill and suicidal,” a claim she attempted to use multiple times. She was “verbally combative and uncooperative” during the investigation, according to officers. Her disdain for the law and law enforcement isn’t anything new, as she frequently ignores court dates and will be extradited to Sumner County when she’s done in Nashville to face multiple failures to appear and a DUI case she’s been avoiding there since 2019.
