42-year-old Jonah Stasinopoulos, owner of Prestige Barbershop in Murfreesboro, TN, was observed sleeping at the International Arrival area in BNA Airport on May 19th. Officers conducted a welfare check and noticed Stasinopoulos had been seen in the area the day prior. Officers spoke with him, and he told them he arrived on a flight around 7 a.m. Stasinopoulos added that his mother was coming from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to pick him up. He provided officers with his driver’s license, leading them to discover that he had active warrants for his arrest outside of Rutherford County, Tennessee. This discovery led to officers detaining Stasinopoulos. During a subsequent search, officers found multiple prescription bottles, one containing 1.5 pills of Oxycodone, hypodermic needles, and burnt substances on tin foil. Stasinopoulos was taken into custody for the unlawful use of drug paraphernalia and possession without a prescription.
