49-year-old Sheila Hill was spotted resisting arrest while intoxicated at the Nashville International Airport on July 28th. Officers were called in response to a woman who seemed to be in distress. When they arrived, they found Hill, who appeared to be intoxicated, with red, watery eyes, slurred speech, and the smell of alcohol on her breath. Despite officers deeming Hill able to continue with her plans as she did not require their assistance, airport staff informed them that she had been denied boarding due to appearing heavily intoxicated. Hill, now not having a scheduled flight that day, was asked to leave the airport’s secure area. As Hill and the officers were walking towards the exit, she became aggressive, using foul language, making repetitive statements, and loudly questioning the officers.
Hill then began screaming, disrupting the activities of nearby businesses. The officers informed Hill that she was being arrested for public intoxication. Despite this, Hill started resisting, but officers were eventually able to handcuff her. Hill resisted further by dropping her weight, kicking at the officers, scratching them with her nails, and trying to pull away. Throughout the encounter, Hill refused to walk, go downstairs, or get into patrol vehicles. When she was placed inside the officer’s patrol vehicle, she began kicking the windows and hitting her head against the vehicle. Hill was then taken into custody and later charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
Sheila Kay Hill of Scottwood Drive in Fort Walton Beach, FL, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 28th, charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $2,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from their facility.
