44-year-old Shammah Caleb Gatewood had a car accident on I-24 in the early hours of Christmas Eve. Officers arrived, noticed the two vehicles, and spoke with Gatewood, who was visibly intoxicated. He used his vehicle to maintain balance while officers questioned him and advised them that he was coming from The Thirsty Turtle, admitting to having a 34 oz. beer two hours before the crash. He refused sobriety tests repeatedly, stating, “I feel safe to drive.” Gatewood was taken into custody for driving under the influence.
