55-year-old Michelle Kay Balke & 60-year-old James Balke were attempting to fly out of Nashville late Monday; however, gate agents at the Nashville International airport denied boarding to both parties due to their extreme level of intoxication. The couple became verbally aggressive, with each one blaming the other for their predicament. Their argument causes a disturbance to airport operations and the gathering of people now watching. Airport police arrived, and they were asked to leave the property. As they were walking out, they again began yelling at each other, and after multiple attempts to calm the situation, both parties were taken into custody for public intoxication.
Michelle Kay Balke was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on November 21, charged with public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $100.
James B. Balke was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on November 21st, charged with public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $100.
