Suspect Behavior

by Sarah Kelley

Hotel hellion

A guest at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Nashville racked up $1,500 in charges but could only afford to pay half the bill with his credit card. When it became clear the man couldn’t cover the remainder of the balance, security attempted to evict him from his room, which they found strewn with expensive bottles of liquor, including five bottles of Dom Perignon champagne. Hotel management called police after the intoxicated guest refused to leave his digs, and upon arrival officers say the 54-year-old suspect claimed he was “a member of the Secret Service and the FBI.” The wannabe federal agent went ballistic when the cops didn’t believe his story, and he began hurling profanities and racial slurs. As he was handcuffed, the suspect then threatened to track down the arresting officers after his release from jail, where he spent the night on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assault and impersonating an officer.

Panic on the streets of Hermitage

Police responded to a report of a vehicle swiping several small trees in a Hermitage subdivision and found the car in the grass with a woman behind the wheel. When asked what happened, the driver claimed she had simply run out of gas, although police say she couldn’t explain the damaged trees, the dent in her car or the fact that she was missing a front tire. Officers then asked to see the woman’s driver’s license, and she handed over her purse, which contained a nearly empty bottle of the anti-anxiety medication Xanax. When it became clear she was about to be arrested for driving under the influence, the 29-year-old suspect changed her story and claimed her brother had actually been driving and that he ran off after wrecking the vehicle (although she couldn’t explain why she was in the driver’s seat wearing her seatbelt). Finally the woman changed her story a third time and said she was driving, but that she only had two drinks and a couple Xanax, adding that if her skills behind the wheel were compromised it was only because she hadn’t eaten or slept in 72 hours. Needless to say, the suspect was arrested and booked for DUI, as well as disorderly conduct for cussing nonstop on the way downtown.

All items in Suspect Behavior are taken from actual Metro police arrest reports and affidavits.
