46-year-old Brent Meyer was seen driving under the influence after a single-vehicle car accident at the Gaylord Opryland Resort And Convention Center Opryland Drive on September 10th. When the officers arrived, they noticed a vehicle had driven up a hill and was stuck on top of a concrete barrier. After speaking with security, they found Meyer, who had fled the scene and was trying to hide from both security and officers. Meyer appeared confused, had slurred speech, smelled of alcohol, and had vomit and blood on his shirt. Officers confirmed that Meyer had been in control of the vehicle with the help of security, who had seen him in the driver’s seat. Security also informed the officers that Meyer had driven through a chain-link fence, causing $5,000 worth of damage. The security footage also showed Meyer going through the fence. When asked about his alcohol consumption, Meyer replied, “I don’t know,” and claimed he had stopped drinking hours ago. Meyer also claimed he didn’t know how his truck got onto the concrete barrier. When asked to perform sobriety tests, Meyer did not consent. Meyer was then detained, refused to give additional statements, and refused implied consent. Upon searching Meyer’s person, officers found a receipt in his pocket showing the purchase of seven alcoholic beverages from a nearby bar. When asked about vehicle insurance, Meyer could not provide proof, claiming his phone was dead. Meyer was then transported and later charged with criminal trespass, driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident, refusing implied consent, and failure to provide insurance.
