31-year-old Stuart Michael Cassidy was involved in a car accident on November 18. Ashley Brooke Jones-Rabotte and Clifton Barnes witnessed this and advised officers Cassidy exited the vehicle with a bottle of Crown in his jacket and asked,” Do you think I can throw this away?” Cassidy told officers that he did not have anything to drink and the reason he crashed was that he was driving too fast. Cassidy was visibly intoxicated and did not want to answer any more questions. Officers noticed a liquor bottle outside Cassidy’s vehicle. Cassidy told them that he could not perform sobriety tests because he had cerebral palsy, so they mirandized him and placed him in custody for driving under the influence.
Stuart Michael Cassidy of Poplar Court in Dickson, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on November 19, charged with driving under the influence. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,000, and the Davidson County Sherriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
