23-year-old Ivan Martinez tried opening a marked patrol vehicle on Representative John Lewis Way South late August 29th. While officers were investigating a separate incident at a nearby establishment, they observed Martinez approach the car. Then, after Martinez attempted to open the rear passenger door, the police spoke with him.
Officers noted that Martinez reeked of alcohol and asked him how much he had to drink. Martinez told officers he had drunk “Too much” before stating he was himself trying to walk home. However, he could not tell them where he would stay for the night and only provided them with his Illinois home address. Martinez was deemed unable to care for himself and was taken into custody for public intoxication on August 30th.
Ivan Martinez was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 30th, charged with public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $100.
