37-year-old Mitchell Ray York was involved in a two-vehicle accident near the Charlotte Avenue Shell Gas Station around 4:56 a.m. on June 18th. Dispatch advised officers that one of the vehicles would need a tow. When officers arrived, they noticed York in his vehicle passed out, sleeping in the passenger seat. Then, officers spoke with the other involved party, Aimee Ramon, who stated that York was extremely intoxicated. Ramon said she watched York throw a beer bottle in the garbage can beside the gas pump. Officers went to wake York up, and after five to ten minutes of shaking him, he became alert. During their interaction, he kept falling asleep mid-speech while showing numerous signs of impairment before admitting to drinking “some alcohol” and that he was not intoxicated. York refused to provide a chemical sample, so officers had to obtain a warrant for a blood draw. Officers later discovered that he had been convicted of DUI in 2020. York was transported to Nashville General Hospital and then taken into custody for driving under the influence-2nd offense.
Mitchell Ray York of Bell Road in Antioch, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 18th, charged with driving under the influence. He is free on a $4,000 bond.
