31-year-old David Young was seen driving recklessly while near the CMA Fest at the intersection of 4th Avenue and Broadway on June 9th. That day, officers observed Young driving the wrong way on a one-way street despite two clear signs indicating the correct direction. Young ignored the signs and continued driving the wrong way. When other vehicles tried to drive the right way, he made a U-turn. The officers stopped Young and asked him why he was driving incorrectly.
While answering, they noticed that Young was watching YouTube on his phone, which was in his lap. The officers took his license and instructed Young to go down 4th Avenue, turn right on Broadway, and park. After the officers left to start writing the ticket, they found that Young was not at the location they instructed him to go to. Officers learned that Young had fled the scene and did not return. A warrant was later issued for his arrest, and Young was taken into custody for reckless driving on August 4th.
David W. Young of Holly Trail in Monterey, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 4th, charged with reckless driving. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
