40-year-old Nicholas Scott Lefevers refused to leave after being denied boarding at Nashville International Airport around 4 p.m. on June 11th. Southwest Airlines employees advised officers that Lefevers became angry with them and other passengers. When officers arrived, they observed Lefevers walking away from the employees while continuing to yell at other passengers. Officers approached him, during which they noticed he reeked of alcohol and showed signs of intoxication. Officers informed Lefevers that he was denied boarding and rebooked for a flight on June 12th. This caused him to become aggravated, shouting about Southwest’s policy. Officers gave him a choice to sleep in a hotel for the night and return for his flight the next day or go to jail, to which he replied, “Take me to jail!” Lefevers was deemed unable to care for himself and was taken into custody for public intoxication.
