39-year-old Stephen Parker Cantrell was found passed out and had recently urinated on himself in the parking garage behind Ole Reds on Broadway in the early hours of May 5th. When officers woke him up, he showed multiple signs of impairment, so they offered him medical assistance, which he refused. He declined to provide a statement or speak with officers and was deemed unable to care for himself. While they were detaining him, he became belligerent, shouting profanities and racial slurs. He could not comprehend simple answers after asking the same question repeatedly and believed his civil rights were violated because they did not conduct sobriety tests. Cantrell was taken into custody for public intoxication.
Stephen Parker Cantrell was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 5th, charged with public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $100.
