34-year-old Chad Petersen was seen publicly intoxicated while at The Morris Apartments on 19th Avenue South on September 2nd. Officers were dispatched to the area for a report of a man who was found passed out in the garage and refused to leave. When officers arrived, they found Peterson asleep in the garage. Officers woke him up and tried to ask him several questions. Despite this, Peterson kept insisting that he had known them for years.
The officers noticed that Peterson had watery eyes, slurred speech, and smelled of alcohol. They called an ambulance to the scene and questioned Peterson, who stated that the current president was Jesus Christ and Obama. Peterson refused medical care and claimed to live at the building but provided an address at Music Square West. The officers concluded that Peterson was unable to care for himself, so they took him into custody for public intoxication.
Chad Petersen was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on September 2nd, charged with public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $100.
