26-year-old David Alberto was jailed after police caught him operating a jet ski on Percy Priest Lake after dark. When he noticed police were approaching, he quickly opened a storage compartment on the jet ski and threw an item inside. Alberto wasn’t wearing a life jacket and had bloodshot watery eyes. He smelled of alcohol and slurred his words as he spoke with the police. They had him put on a life jacket and asked him to step aboard the patrol boat. He performed poorly on all field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest for BUI. The item that was thrown in the storage compartment turned out to be a vape pen that Alberto said did not belong to him. However, after giving blood, he informed police that there would be drugs and alcohol in his blood from the marijuana in the vape pen.
David Lucero Alberto of Bell Rd in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 10th, charged with boating under the influence and a boating violation. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,500, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
