28-year-old Nicholas Robert Riffle sped past a vehicle in his Hyundai Santa Fe near Lebanon Pike and Spence Lane around 2 a.m. on April 24th. He continued speeding, traveling in the turning lane through the intersection into oncoming traffic, and almost collided with officers. Officers activated their emergency equipment and conducted a traffic stop on Clovernook Drive, where they asked him about his “poor driving,” which is when he admitted to being drunk. Riffle exited his car, stumbling and showing signs of impairment before he consented to sobriety tests and performed poorly. After being read implied consent, he agreed to provide a breath sample, which resulted in 0.178 BAC%. Riffle was then taken into custody for driving under the influence and reckless driving.
Nicholas Robert Riffle was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on April 24th, charged with driving under the influence and reckless driving. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $3,000.
