40-year-old Michael Krone drove his white Jeep Grand Cherokee with expired tags near Murfreesboro Pike and Thompson Lane on June 4th. Officers also noticed that his right brake light was out, so they initiated a traffic stop in the Dominos parking lot. Officers approached the vehicle and spoke with Krone, who reeked of alcohol and admitted to drinking and taking Gabapentin, which he had a prescription for. Krone denied using illegal drugs as he showed signs of impairment. Krone exited the vehicle for sobriety tests, which he performed poorly on. During a subsequent search of his Jeep, officers located multiple empty wine bottles in a backpack on the front seat, Chore Boy, which is used to help smoke crack cocaine, and numerous pill bottles. After being read implied consent, Krone agreed to provide a blood sample. A computer check revealed Krone had two prior DUIs: one from 2017 in Kentucky and one from 2014 in Pennsylvania. Krone was transported to Nashville General Hospital and was taken into custody for driving under the influence-3rd offense on June 5th.
