27-year-old Tyson Orr was caught speeding and failing to maintain his traffic lane on Rosa Parks Boulevard on May 5th. Officers had to drive almost double the speed limit to catch up to Orr’s vehicle. Officers then conducted a traffic stop and contacted Orr, who said he “didn’t realize how fast he was going”. Officers then asked Orr where he was coming from and if he had consumed any alcoholic beverages. Orr stated that he was coming from downtown and had only one drink. During questioning, Orr changed his answer about whether he drank or not several times. Orr was then asked to step out of the vehicle so that officers could observe any signs of intoxication. Due to officers finding signs of nystagmus, they asked Orr if he was willing to execute field sobriety tests. Orr consented to the sobriety tests but performed poorly. Orr was taken into custody, where he was read his Miranda Rights. While officers were speaking to Orr, officers noticed the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person. Tyson Orr was then transported to Booking, where he was charged with driving under the influence.
Tyson L Orr of Jordan Ridge Road in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 5th, charged with driving under the influence. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
