34-year-old Michael Arnold of Bethesda, MD, was traveling over 90 mph on I-440 when he swerved and nearly struck a police patrol vehicle Saturday evening. Officers conducted a traffic stop and found Arnold to be extremely intoxicated and reeking of alcohol. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests and later blew a 0.247% BAC on a breathalyzer. Inside the vehicle, officers discovered four empty Whiteclaw cans, one empty Twisted Tea can, and two consumed screwdrivers. A Glock handgun was located in the driver’s side door, and a Colt revolver was in an unlocked compartment.
Michael H. Arnold of Cordell Ave in Bethesda, MD, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 20, charged with driving under the influence (DUI), and two counts of possession of a weapon while under the influence. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $4,500, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
