51-year-old Eric Fletcher was involved in a car accident at Jacksonian Drive on May 26th. When officers arrived, they spoke with medics who told them that Fletcher smelled like marijuana. Officers made contact with Fletcher and asked him if he had been drinking or if he had been smoking marijuana. Fletcher confessed to having four beers and a homemade edible THC gummy earlier in the day. This led to officers requesting Fletcher to perform field sobriety tests. Fletcher consented to the sobriety tests but ended up performing poorly. Fletcher was then transported to a hospital, where the alcohol in his blood came back as 0.301% BAC. Due to Eric Fletcher being released in under three hours, he was taken into custody and charged with driving under the influence.
Eric L. Fletcher was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on May 26th, charged with DUI. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,500.
