58-year-old Anthony Barr was seen driving his boat without navigational lights past sunset on June 15th at Percy Priest Lake. When officers stopped his boat and made contact with Barr, they observed a strong smell of alcohol coming from him. Barr admitted to drinking, so officers requested him to go to their boat and perform sobriety tests. After performing poorly, Anthony Barr was taken into custody, where he admitted that he also smoked marijuana. He was then transferred to booking and charged with boating under the influence, boating violation, and implied consent.
