Tennessee State Senator Arrested for DUI After Field Sobriety Test Incident

Senator Ken Yager faces charges of DUI, hit-and-run, and traffic violations after failing a field sobriety test in Georgia.

Tennessee State Senator Ken Yager, 77, was pulled over in Georgia on suspicion of involvement in a hit-and-run incident earlier the same day.
Yager admitted to consuming alcohol prior to driving and failed a field sobriety test, during which he urinated on himself, according to incident reports and video footage.
A breathalyzer test revealed Yager's blood alcohol content to be 0.14, nearly twice the legal limit, leading to his arrest on DUI and related charges.
The senator, recently reelected for another four-year term, has stated he will cooperate with law enforcement but declined further comment on legal advice.
Charges against Yager include DUI, hit-and-run, and failure to stop at a stop sign, with the case drawing significant public and media attention.
