34-year-old Gregory Boyd was sitting in his vehicle with the lights off at the Gallatin Pike and Kirkland Avenue intersection late May 12th. Officers observed that the car was not running and turned around to check on it, during which they noticed a male, later identified as Boyd, exit the car and open the hood. They activated their blue lights, approached him, and discovered his car was not working, explaining why he was stopped. He provided them with his ID and later admitted to drinking before driving his car, so they prompted him with sobriety tests, to which he consented and performed poorly. He was visibly upset and told them that he was “just trying to get someone to pick him up,” insisting that his vehicle was still parked in the parking lot, even though it was in the street. Boyd declined to provide a blood sample and was then taken into custody for an implied consent violation and driving under the influence.
Gregory L Boyd of Pawnee Trail in Madison, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 12th, charged with Driving under the influence and implied consent violation. He is free on a $2,000 bond.
