34-year-old Marcelino Aranda Jaimes was involved in a car accident on Reeves Road on July 21st. Following the collision, the other involved driver followed Jaimes to Antioch Pike, where officers were later dispatched. Officers learned the crash involved the vehicles’ side mirrors hitting each other from opposite directions. A third party had to pull their car in front of Jaimes to stop him in the parking lot. Then, with Spanish interpretation, Jaimes told officers he did not pull over due to traffic concerns. As officers spoke to Jaimes they noticed he showed signs of impairment before he admitted to consuming two beers “Now.” He then consented to sobriety tests, and performed poorly. After being informed of implied consent, Jaimes agreed to provide a breath sample, resulting in 0.239 BAC%. Officers later discovered he had no valid driver’s license. Jaimes was then taken into custody for driving under the influence, having no valid driver’s license, and leaving the scene of an accident.
Marcelino Aranda Jaimes of Packard Drive in Nashville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on July 21st, charged with DUI, leaving the scene, and no license. He is free on a $2,500 bond.
