33-year-old Katie Buhler was involved in a two-vehicle accident near 7-Eleven on Murfreesboro Pike late August 27th. When officers arrived, Buhler was standing next to a 2013 Ford Fusion that belonged to her parents with heavy front-end damage. The other involved party stated to police that they had been rear-ended. Buhler told officers that she could not remember what had happened. The police noticed she had unloaded many personal belongings onto the roadway. Buhler stated that she was trying to get them to the side. Officers noticed Buhler showed signs of impairment, reeked of alcohol, was extremely emotional, and cried while speaking with officers.
Then, when asked, Buhler initially refused to take sobriety tests. However, she eventually consented and performed poorly on sobriety tests. After being informed of implied consent, she declined to provide a breath sample. Officers then discovered an open and empty bottle of Segura Viudas 12% wine in a bag on her front passenger seat. Buhler was read her Miranda rights and requested an attorney. Buhler was taken into custody for driving under the influence and an implied consent violation on August 28th.
Katie Buhler of Wildwood Drive in Brentwood, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 28th, charged with DUI and implied consent. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $1,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave her pre-trial release from their facility.
