38-year-old Jared Kleinert was seen unconscious and intoxicated at Vanderbilt Medical Center East on July 3rd. When officers arrived, they observed Kleinert unconscious on the restroom floor. When Kleinert gained consciousness, officers discovered a used syringe containing blood underneath his body. Kleinert was unable to stay awake and sit up properly on the toilet. Kleinert continuously leaned forward between his legs while on the floor so officers could not question him about the syringe. When Kleinert woke up, he was identified by his name and date of birth. Kleinert then admitted to officers that he took an unknown drug while using the bathroom. Kleinert stated that he was discharged from Vanderbilt Medical Center earlier in the morning. He added that he was attempting to go to Vanderbilt Medical Center East to pick up his prescription. Due to his condition, officers deemed he was a danger to himself, so he was taken into custody for public intoxication.
Jared J. Kleinert was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 3rd, charged with possession of unlawful drug paraphernalia and public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $2,500.
