32-year-old Rachel Alexandria Oakes refused to exit a taxi on September 2nd. A local taxi driver alerted nearby officers and advised them he had a passenger, later identified as Oakes. The driver added that Oakes refused to vacate the vehicle after he took her to her hotel. Then, the driver said that Oakes had started vomiting profusely on herself and his car’s interior. He added that he drove from the hotel to flag them down for assistance. When officers talked with Oakes, they directed her to exit the vehicle, which she did. However, she immediately laid down on the sidewalk and a part of the roadway while speaking incoherently.
Then, Oakes did not respond after the police asked her if she had a friend or a family member to call to get her back to her hotel, so officers requested medics. When they arrived, Oakes told them that she did not need medical attention and attempted to get on her phone to call someone. However, due to her impairment level, she locked herself out of her phone. Officers noticed Oakes reeked of alcohol and was visibly intoxicated before she admitted to drinking. Oakes was deemed a danger to herself and was taken into custody for public intoxication.
Rachel Alexandria Oakes was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on September 2nd, charged with public intoxication. A judicial commissioner set her bond at $100.
