30-year-old Alexander Kamilus Popko was driving in the wrong direction near Ellington Parkway and Hart Lane in the early hours of April 21st. When officers arrived, they noticed a truck facing southbound in the northbound lanes on the left shoulder, so they approached it, where they located Popko, who told them he was trying to get to his hotel. He told officers he had consumed alcohol, which they could smell, so they prompted him with sobriety tests. Popko performed poorly, telling them he was too drunk to take the tests. He then refused to provide a chemical sample and was taken into custody for driving under the influence and an implied consent violation.
Alexander Kamilus Popko of Universal Road in Pittsburgh, PA, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 21st, charged with driving under the influence and implied consent violation. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,500.
