21-year-old Wesley Gregory was observed to be publicly intoxicated and resisting arrest near Jack’s Bar-B-Que on July 6th. Officers noticed Gregory possibly fighting with his brother and moved to intervene. When officers approached Gregory, he pushed them and backed away. Gregory tensed up as he told officers, “Keep your hands off me.” Officers then placed Gregory in handcuffs and realized he wasn’t fighting his brother. Officers learned that Gregory’s brother was supporting him because he was too intoxicated to stand or walk. Officers noticed Gregory’s unsteadiness while walking, his bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and the smell of alcohol on his breath. As a result, Gregory was arrested for public intoxication. While he was being taken to the officers’ vehicles, Gregory stated, “Turning 21 and buying girls shots in Nashville doesn’t make me publicly intoxicated.” Gregory resisted arrest and was additionally charged with resisting arrest.
