25-year-old Toraun Blackman was involved in a car accident at the intersection of 3rd Avenue North and James Robertson Parkway on August 31st. When officers arrived, they spoke with both parties about the crash. Both parties reported that they observed they smelled a strong odor of alcohol coming from Blackman, as well as other signs of intoxication.
This prompted officers to ask Blackman to perform sobriety tests, but Blackman refused and stated that he was not driving. Before saying this, Blackman had already admitted that he was driving the car. Blackman was read implied consent and later transported to booking for driving under the influence.
Toraun Blackman of Stevens Lane in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on August 31st, charged with DUI. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $1,000, and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.
