Authorities responded that this represents less than one percent of all the DUI arrests made
Tennessee Police arrested over 600 sober drivers for DUI in the last from 2017 to 2023. In one year alone, it charged 159 people with DUI despite zero drugs detected in their system.

When that driver, William Rose, asked if he could take a breathalyzer test he was shocked at the answer: He said, we don’t do breathalyzer in Rutherford County. We do the blood alcohol test at the station based on your behavior”.
